The waves come crashing over the boat, making the deck slick with water. A sea creature dives under the boat, threatening to flip it. The captain of the ship steers left and right, determined to keep the boat upright. Up ahead another ship is in sight, getting closer and closer by the second. Screams from the distance reveal another ship capsizing, the crew members going down with it. A loud gurgling noise comes from beneath the angry sea. A swirling starts, throwing the ship around in a circle. Finally, all the water goes down the drain, bath time is over.
