Troubled Waters

You send word to your fleet that you are taking two ships back into the storm to find the lost supply ship. You instruct them to wait for your return for at least two days, then continue on towards Newfoundland. Your small team heads into the vortex of wind and rain, seeing splintered wood and ropes rising on the violent waves. Sail cloth can be seen floating about amongst the wreckage. Your theory was correct. This ship had gone under and was crushed by the forceful waves. As you try to pull back out of the storm once again, you see one of your ships almost flying above the waves, propelled by the raging winds as it crashes directly into the starboard side of your other ship, seemingly cutting in half. The sickening crack of wood reaches your ears over the sound of the rain. You have no choice but to watch as both ships go under. Your ship is able to return to the fleet with minimal damages, but you have now lost three supply ships. Desperate for food, your fleet begins fishing and attempting cannibalism. There appear to be no other options.
