Fëany is such a micro-manager sometimes, but I would like to think that despite the snarky exterior, he didn't want any harm to come to his followers and that maybe he wants to have some private time alone to grieve Nerdanel (I'm a hopeless romantic, I know.)  ;-)

I liked this, it has sort of a Hornblowerish feel to it!

I have to agree with Surgical Steel that you have the tone of the seafaring adventure down perfectly! I'm really surprised that there are fewer stories about the crossing; it seems like a time ripe for conflict (and, therefore, fanfic! :) This one is great--so much is fit into 125 words! Well done! :)

And I'm wondering whether I read a piece of fanfiction just before, or maybe I was again a small girl stunned by the story of captain Ahab and the white whale. Thanks for evoking that feeling with a drabble! Very well done :D

The piece was small but nicely written. However, I did not see Uinen's direct interaction with the characters here... Why did you put her name in the character list? I understand if that was the title, though.

LOL I have to refrain myself from going nitpicky... Hmm.

I love the first paragraph. I live in an archipelago country and love stories about the sea, however horrifying it is (okay, not so, but anyway). The word choice there was beautiful, and the personification of the ship made the picture look more vivid and the readers more immersed in the part - the predicament of the passangers aboard the stormy sea. Good job!
