In "We're not Afraid to Die...", the narrator promises to repeat Captain James Cook's trip around the world. It was an adventure of 1,05,000 km. Huge waves and violent weather caused a lot of damage and pain. Wavewalker was a properly built boat that had been tried in rough seas. But storms and waves hit the ship. Wavewalker was almost going over. His left ribs were broken, and his mouth was full of blood and broken teeth. Sue, his little daughter, had a big bump above her eyes too. They didn't have time to worry about those things, though.
