The Perfect Storm

         In class we watched the Perfect Storm. A group of fishermen had a disappointing trip in which they barely caught any fish. When they returned home the captain of the ship decided to go out on one last trip. He took the crew to the Flemish Cap. This was a longer trip than the crew was ready for. Out in the middle of the ocean with a huge catch, their refrigerating system broke. This left the captain and his crew with a decision. Lose the catch of a lifetime or sail straight into the middle of three hurricanes. The crew let money cloud their minds and took the chance of sailing through the storm. After they realized they would not make it through the storm they turned around. After turning around, the ship capsized and sank taking the whole crew with her.
