Q2 Post6

After their disappointing visit to Rio de Janeiro, the Endeavour and her crew head south for Cape Horn (mind you this is 1768) where they will then turn north again and head directly for Tahiti, their final destination. It is said in the book that when you approach the Cape, you start getting blisters due to all the hard work necessary to keep the ship afloat. Therefore, you end up with a ton of blisters. Nich finds this idea very true and pays for not listening to the rest of his fellow crewmen's warnings. So far, Nich's journey is one that is filled with incredible luck and also been very lax. Once he leaves Tahiti however, many challenges will arise for the entire crew of Endeavour that will test them almost to all of their deaths.
