We are brining you a lighter topic this week, and a peek at our flagship show if you haven't given it a try. 

Historically the ocean has always been a dangerous place. From the way the water behaves, to other humans one may encounter while on the water, tales of the dangers of the open ocean have been around since the beginning of mankind. 

So when a crew runs across the abandoned ship of a friend, theories abound about what could have happened to the passengers. From initial theories of insurance fraud and murder, to wilder theories of aliens and large sea creatures, theories have been whispered since the ship was brought in. 

But we will probably never know what happen to the ten souls aboard this brig. Only the ocean knows that secret now.
