A newly recruited sailor on a late 18th-century merchant ship finds the days between harbours stretch out long and empty, and there's nothing to fill them but the ocean and the company of the crew. It's a slow, cozy sort of story rather than a plotted one.

The narrative branches instead of running in a straight line, letting relationships with the other sailors develop depending on how you spend the downtime at sea. Different stops and different people open up different paths, so the voyage plays out differently depending on who you choose to get close to.

You mostly navigate conversations and choices between ports, steering the protagonist's romances and encounters as the ship makes its way from one harbour to the next. Later stretches take the story onto land as well, with new stops like Morocco expanding where those relationships can go.
