Good story but I would like to add another character. The guy that put up the money for the ship. He stands back on the shore and watches the crew sail away to look for treasure. Once in awhile he gets a message asking for more money. The odd time he gets a sprinkle of news. Then silence. Did they hit fog, a storm, get lost or find there was no treasure? Or is it buried to deep and they have to dig longer? It's answers the investor wants. Perhaps he invested his last and is going broke.
