Hi Luke159
Nice.
I need to restart v3.2 at the sailors level and try again. Captain was to darn hard and a Pirate character is difficult row to hoe.

Diary of Sea Captain Lord Fauntleroy
-----------------------------------------------
The fall and winter of 1667 are now history. Things was rather difficult as me crew had a mutiny again me. They was a wee bit perturbed on lack of wage payments. So I had to do what any self respecting captain would do and proved to the rest o the crew that I is their captain and will remain so. I taught the mutineers a lesson o respect by manor o sword and pistol.
After that mutiny in November I figured for the crews sake, I best captain the little War Tartane 'Andromaque'. Now after spending my whole career a captain of large vessels, the Tartane is a wee bit different and took some real gettin used to. The crew is 64 men strong and cargo hold is at 306, after her expensive refit in Bermudas. She has 8, 8 lb. culverins so she cain't do much damage to any foe, The aiming of her cannons is a little difficult too. These short comins no matter to me, she is a fine seaworthy craft and I loves to sail her. The excitement o battle in the little craft is unequal and we had boarded 4 ships now and captured each one with me small crew o 64 sailors.
Now fer some reason sailin the little craft makes me feel young again, I must admit. Reminds me of a old hallow log I usta float in on a wee pond near me grand elders farm back in me Dear old England. Now fer sure the Tartane is a tad bigger then that log but I do feels young again when I sails her. Thars just some thin right special bout that small boat an the feelin she gives me its like being all in love again for the first time.
Now its can be a little humiliatin to sail up to a harbor in such a small craft. A right blessed lass on shore in Willemstad was a poken fun a me and me Tartane. She was a wonderin if me equipment were a tiny as me ship e tiny. Well I took that lass for a spin around the harbor and a windy day it twas. Maybe twas the sea spray or maybe all the rocking the little boat was a doin but wouldn't you know it that lass got a bit o excitement an for to long her privates was danglin off the killick and a sound o her delight filled the air.
Now I must admit tis ain't me normal way o doin things with the lasses but that one she needed a proper teachin to o manors and a proper lesson she did receive. I toughts her you can no judge a Sea Captain by the size o his ship nor by the looks o his face tis what's in a mans heart thats important and nothin else. Another new friend I did make this time aboard me magical little Tartane. I just loves sailin this little boat she is pure magic to me old salt filled hart.
Into the Port O Spain shipyard for repairs then to the merchant for supplies and a large purchase of cattle. I wished a good bye to my new friend and then made way for me Tartane, then onto Guadeloupe we will sail, on what I hopes is a right fine profit on those cattle.
