ADwD 40: Tyrion 611

Sea travel is pretty grim in GRRM-world. I'm not sure why anyone ever bothers trying it. Tyrion and friends are alternately becalmed and bestormed. He's resorting to riding a pig to make the sailors laugh to keep them friendly. He's hoping they don't eat the pig, since food is getting short. He continues to avoid becoming romantically involved with Penny.

He manages to annoy Jorah Mormont by figuring out that Mormont was exiled and he's using Tyrion to try to buy Dany's favour.

A storm kills half the crew (including the red priest Moqorro who should have seen it coming) and destroys the mast. They drift for 19 days. Then rescue is in sight...but it's a slave ship. I am not sure this is good news.
