Port Royal, Jamica. JOINT THREAD


Capt. Sterling

Recommended Posts

Port Royal dead! NEVER.

After having just spent four days on a boat, during rain and gale force winds (we stayed safely tied to the dock and just hung out), I now have a better idea of what Ransom and the Rakehell are going through - or survived - during the hurricane. Horizontal rain is so interesting. One gust nearly blew me off the dock ramp as my husband and I were coming back from dinner at a nearby restaurant. On Monday I had to call the marina office to report that the boom on a sailboat behind us had come lose and was wagging back and forth, threatening to decapitate the mast on the sailboat moored next to him. Never a dull moment.

The marine weather channel reported offshore for Charleston/Coos Bay 22-26 foot swells, 26 foot surf, and 60 mph wind gusts. Said combined seas were 32-36 feet. Yikes!

Welcome, Lilith, and have no fear. Port Royal is alive and well, just on holiday hiatus.

and buccaneers and buried gold...

:ph34r: This picture make it look like he's hung up in the rigging - or in a big spider web! Or are those things tree branches? I think I likes the snoozing Captain better! :D

And a welcome back to Dan as well... okay any ideas for a plot twist, I'm getting stuck and bored... although I don't mind being happily married I have no intentions on living on dry land and becoming a farmer... horrors... and with poor Sir Henry completely tied up with life, attacking the spanish doesn't look too good right now...

Okay, we've had fire and a hurricane. Maybe we need to delve into the history of PR and see if there was an attack on the port? Spanish? English? Anybody? As for Ransom and the Rakehell, I still have half a cargo of arms and powder to be unloaded by the Devareaux's gang. Until that happens, I'm stuck in PR. Afterwards, I was contemplating a bit of smuggling to earn a little of the shiny. However, I'm open for suggestions. It better be good though, to pull me away from the Beggar Prince! :(

And I second the Captain. Welcome back Dan!

Well....we're not hurting for plots & plans, at least I'm not yet :(

Personally I'd like to settle a little after the storm, get that Spanish sabotage underway & maybe we'll get the chance to see that pretty little ship of theirs sometime soon. If La Alma shows up on the horizon, imagine the panic that it could incite in the city. Damaged from the storm, no sign of Sir Henry & a Spanish ship looming about?!

Anyway, just throwing in my two pence against another story wide crisis right now.
