*feeling a sudden stop of the gentile rocking motion, Petee slowly opens one eye and looks around, sits up and streches. Ruubing his head, he notices that he is almost fully healed. With another stretch and yawn he slowly gets out of his hamock and goes above deck.*

*Recognizing the form of the Master Gunner climbing up the companion way ladder, Armand quickly rids himself of the tray bearing Mister Petee's morning meal and follows swiftly up to the Main Deck.

Spotting his quary, the Steward approaches looking rather cross..*

Monsieur! Non!...You have not been...*Puzzles for the word*...cleared to be on your own libre arbitre...Zuk! Merde!....Your own free will. Please, let me help you to a...sitting down.

*Armand takes the Master Gunner's arm gently to guide him away from the scurrying about deck to a sea chest out of harms way.*

Please, monsieur...You will sit?

Looks around and sees that Jonathan Hawks looks ta be ready ta work his magic on our ship. Seems that we are all a hard working team. :lol: Now - backs to me morale duties. Me thinks some of our crew has been feelin' a bit neglected. Prehaps I shall start at the lunch table - Monsignior - how about a bit of inspiration for me mates :) :lol:

*Having made note of the galleon's run aground, Tempest raises from the comfort of the palm's support to trek across the beach and back into the shallows. Observing a rope ladder over the side, she takes hold of the rungs and climbs upward to the stairs built into the Gunwale then transfers her weight and grasp to gain the final progress to the Main Deck.

Bare feet touching the deck's years of wear, she observes her Steward and the Master Gunner near the far rail and moves to their proximity, carefully dodging the flurry of activity she takes in the distress on Armand's features.*

Good morn to you, Mister Petee! I see you are up and about to see what the day has to offer. How are you feeling?

*A glimpse of skeptisism fleets through the Surgeon's eyes at the note of a smallish hint of spirits in the air. *

Good, sir...Good to hear. You will do me the favor of resting here until I can gain information in regard to our accomodation ashore at yon fortitude...

*Leaning close to trap the Master Gunner's eyes with her own, she emits a hiss of whisper...*

No consumption of distilled spirits, Mister Petee..

*Standing erect...*

Are we clear, sir?

Upon dropping the first load of Rummys tools upon pully to the ground. I turns and sees that many of the crew on the beach already unpacking and passing out the iron and scraping bars. The teamwork of which to begins scraping the hull the likes of which I never seen afore. I lowers the second and make my descent to begins the pot fires.

*The Surgeon nods in aknowledgement that her point has been received and gaining her Steward's attention, relays her instruction for the time being before returning her focus to the Master Gunner*

You will excuse me, Mister Petee, while I query the proper athorities involving our move to shore. I suggest that you take this opportunity to gain substanence for it may be some time before edibles may be obtained. Armand will attend to your wants and needs. Remember well what we have discussed, sir. It would not be wise to go against my instruction twice...

*Stepping away and around the organized chaos on deck, she searches the parmeter to find someone to answer questions that have come to bare...*

Might I offer up me fine ability and start the fires for the pitch pots? What say how bouts on yonder beach outa the wind on the post morn change?

Thank you, Monsignor. That would speed us along well.

(Turns to Master Lasseter)

Free up all the fresh water stores to the workers today and we'll put together a bucket brigade tomorrow and bring fresh stores from the river behind the fort.

(Walks over to Tempest)

Doctor, you have the run of the workers today. You may interrupt any woman or man at their duty to apply what ointment and liniments as they may need if it does not hinder them too much from their labor.

::knuckles forehead::

Aye, aye, Cap'n!

::rouses several crewmembers to take one of the ships boats back to the pier where all the ships supplies stand under guard, with his orders to bring all water casks to the cove::

** As the tide turns, more of the hull shows itself.... covered with barnacles, seeweed and the like**

A'right Lads!!! Seein' as th' blocks n' tackles be lashed ta shore, haul away I says!!! put th' ol' girl on 'er side!!!

Very well, sir...

*Steping quickly to the side to avoid collision*

But...I must borrow your ear for a moment in regard to accomodations on shore. I understand that I am to retire to the fortitude, but there are things in need of transfer from here to there and Mister Petee is not by my opinions, ready to exhert himself under un-nesecesary means. You do understand the situation I am currently in...This state of limbo amidst the chaos present?

tis a lovely thing watching her roll to port. There is something beautiful about the entirety of a ship as exposed without water hiding the majestry of the hulls design. I mean jes figurin the weight of the ship itself is even too high for my fingers to count but to be able to put ten times that weight within the hold and crew and all and still have it be able to float is a wonder of science it is. (i cups me hands and yells to the Quartermaster) Sir! The pitch is almost to temperature. I will begin prepairing the oakum!

(turning me attentions back to the fire) Iyells out to the ground crew I have a few torches fer yer needs. Sits upon downed palm offering the wind protection to keep the fires hot. and begins chopping hemp and jute into a pile.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.

Mister Lasseter. I see that your hands are rather full of present obligation. I am in need of your authority to repair ashore...
