The smell of salt and the crashing of the waves was nauseating.

Captain James T. Kirk had fallen to a sickness of the heart that only gold could cure. The trek to the lonely mountain was a perilous one, everything was smooth sailing until a storm erupted from nowhere causing the ship to strand itself on a rocky bank.
