Life is made up of moments. Some are good, some are bad. Some are joyous, some are terrifying. These are some of the moments in the lives of the Castaways

As always when duty shifts ended, the canteen was bursting at the seams with sailors.

A banner proclaiming "Happy 21st Birthday!" hung across the bar. Under it, an officer stood on a chair that creaked under his weight.

"Got a whale of a tale to tell you lads!" he bellowed at the top of his lungs. He sang off-key. No one cared. "A whale of a tale or two, 'bout the flapping fish and the girls I've loved on nights like this with the moon above. A whale of a tale, and it's all true! I swear by my tattoo."
