Immortal at Sea (The Immortal Chronicles) by Gene Doucette
The theme of December 2022 is to read Gene Doucette's collection of side stories featuring his 60,000 year old drunkard, Adam. This one features a silly story about how Adam is shanghaid into sailing on a gold-plated ship from Portugal to India circa 1580.
There are pirates.
Also, a kraken.
Lots of improbable fun to be had in a very short read.
