Tempest Fitzgerald Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 *Tips the goblet in his direction* Then it sounds to me that the gentleman in question did not see the potential...Or perhaps he was a bore and there for offered no inspiration to your prowess. *Muses over the empty goblet before refilling* I much appreciate your concern in regard to my lack of Cutlass skill. I should look forward to the honing of such ability... *Pauses and focuses on him* But do keep in mind, it is rather hard for me to use either pistol or blade when up to my elbows in wounded... *Glances in the direction of the bow where her Steward watches the goings on down the quay* ...And that is part of Armand's function and station. To ensure that there are no problems in sticky situations. *She smiles warmly as her focus returns to him* I agree.

Diego Santana de la Vega Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 Stand at ease men, nice little set up here we got going! Who's idea was this Sir William? Patric Hand and Master Gunner Petee ye are just two, where be the rest of yer crew? I must say (as I kicks a 6 pounders mounting) tis built well. I am not sure but I believe a drynk is on tap in some sort of celebratory job wells done, what say then men? Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.
Diego Santana de la Vega Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 Sir William I think that these men are not hearing a thing. Is it possible that they are powder junkies? Here I have me flask in me boot (scratches head) ah yes a four rum mix of flavors from the caribe then. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.
Rummy3 Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Captain - I been busy gathering supplies for the careening. I have tar, Pitch, leather mallots, scrapers, rasp files and bristle brushes for the bottom. Top deck will need tar, jute, brislte brushes, leather mallots and old roping for the caulk lines are the needs fer my duties as the ships carpenter this day. In the hold I was working on my morale officer duties and found all these things already well stored although some fires will be needed to be set for the tar to soften in the pitch pots. Have ye some volunteers ta provides the needed assistance yet sir?
William Brand Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Have ye some volunteers ta provides the needed assistance yet sir? I was a caulker in Amsterdam for a period of four months, so I know the mallet and the hemp very well. Aye. Â Â Â
Jonathan Hawks Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Jonathan Hawks finished his surveying and meaqsurements of the repairs that needed to be made to the metalwork of the cove fort. he then began supervising the men as to where and how he wanted his forge set and before long it was ready to be fired up. That be a right good job men, I says. Now, I needs me more of the ore and more of the raw metal that be back in the ships storage. You there... Hawks points to one of the men. Take a few o these e're men back ta the ship and go to the hold fer some o that raw steel I be needen. Take this cart and bring it back in it. And, let Mr Lasseter know I be firin this thing up and startin in on the hinges and straps. By the tyme ya gets back, it should be good and hot ta start me task. I'fn he wants ta see me, tell em I be there as soon as I can. This stuff takes time. The men leave with the cart for the ship as Jonathan fires up the forge, squeezing the bellows, and begins getting the fire red hot. Shoots anything that moves!!
CaptainSwan Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 ~Swan saunters above to the decks. She is wearing black breeches white blouse and red vest. She takes a look around the decks seemingly looking for specific crew mates. She nods greetings to her fellow crew then goes and sits on the railing sipping her morning coffee.~ Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is; It's not just a keel and hull and a deck and sails. That's what a ship needs. But what a ship is really is freedom.

Aye. A good Caulker is worth his weight in gold. When the captain is ready for us ta begin the careening - I be grateful fer your expertise indeed. In the meanwhile, fill yer tankard wit this here grog - it be me fynest i haves ta share~

Tempest Fitzgerald Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 *Overhearing her name, leaves the stern rail and moves forward to look upon the main deck. Reaching the rail, collapses the 'glass she has been using and raises her cup of morning ritual towards the Quartermaster* Good morn to you and thank you for asking after us. This morning has proven fruitful and all has been readied for the events of the day. I have given Armand some time to himself ashore. I have a fresh pot of coffee in my possesion and you are welcome to it, though I know you prefer tea. *Smiles warmly* ...Or lay these bones in an unworthy urn, Tombless, with no rememberance over them: Either our history shall with full mouth Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave, Like a Turkish mute, shall have a toungueless mouth, Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph...

The Doctor Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 :: fetches himself another cup of coffe, and approaches the ship's surgeon :: Good morning, Doctor Fitzgerald. I was wondering - when might I be returning to full duty, in your opinion? They say idle hands are the Devil's workshop; mine tend towards an entire shipyard, if you catch my meaning. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
