They seem awful complacient being as they are at death's door...Ice weighs a lot and that is a lot of tonnage above decks...they better start sledging the Ice off the vessel!

** INFO **
In the Napoleonic wars, on board ship a "Monkey" (this term is used to define a table and/or a rail) made of brass was used to hold cannon balls in place. In very cold temperatures the brass would contract or even break thus allowing the cannon balls to roll off the Monkey onto the gun deck. Hence "Freeze the balls off a brass monkey".

where's the beer?

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you
didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from
the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
