The Straights of Bosphorous
Well, yep. The seas are definitely treacherous. I instagrammed a photo of Two Rocks that I could see on the horizon, and luckily @blindprophet commented on my photo and warned me that these rocks clashed together periodically, and often trapped any passing ship in between them. He also said that I should send a bird ahead of us to trick the rocks into clashing together; and that doing this would allow us to pass through safely. This I did, and fortunately so. I watched the bird be crushed by the almighty power of the rocks, and then smoothly manoeuvred the Argo through the gap. Phew. We made it.

Before we arrived in Colchis, we had even more notable encounters. Tiphys, our chief navigator died, and to top it off, we were attacked by crazy birds. Seriously, those things were more savage than a Cottesloe Beach Seagull going in for an unattended chip.
