Troubled Waters

Setting sail out of Cardiff in South England, your fleet makes way through the North Atlantic Ocean, and all looks well with the waters. You sail with no problems for three days and two nights when suddenly the winds change. A storm is rolling in, and a mighty one at that! You consult your navigator about what the best plan of action would be, and he says you could very well sail around it or straight through it, with just about the same consequences. However, there is no way to tell how large the storm is, and sailing through it with many ships could result in a loss of a few of them. But sailing around the storm would cost much more time and supplies as a result.
