The voyage was five months in, three weeks into the calm. The need for disciplinary whippings had increased tenfold, but the Captain was sure the wind would pick up soon.
The Quartermaster, who was the true leader of the voyage, was growing impatient, knowing that they had maybe three days of supplies before they crossed the tipping point.
The Mutineers assumed that they would get the support of the crew when they made their move.
They did not.
On the plus side, the supplies issue was now solved for a few days, enough for the wind to pick back up.
