Tonight, we head out onto the open sea for the middle watch, the quiet hours between midnight and dawn. For the first time, seventeen-year-old Jem has been trusted with the wheel of the Marigold while the rest of the crew sleeps below deck. Beside him stands Silas, an old sailor who has spent most of his life at sea. As Jem slowly learns to feel the ship beneath his hands, Silas passes the long dark hours with stories from decades spent on the water. Tales of old superstitions, strange creatures, impossible nights at sea, and the things a sailor carries with him long after a voyage is over. The stars hold their course overhead, the crew sleeps below, and slowly the darkness begins to give way to morning. So settle in, listen to the water against the hull, and spend the middle watch aboard the Marigold.
