    Summary

    It took them eight months and thirteen days before they had a real incident. Eight months and thirteen days of nothing over the danger level of a long forgotten mythological beast coming after them as they sailed the oceans together. Nothing under the danger level of an angry bar tender then Stanley tried to skip out on paying for their drinks.

    It took them eight months and thirteen days for something like this to happen.
