Title: Captain's Log 1

Author: Johne

Day before departure...

I grow tired of life on the land. It has been weeks now that the Ararat has been moored in the Port of Trinsic. The Chief Engineer reports repairs to the ship are progressing on time and we shall Be set to sail on schedule as I had hoped.

Departure...

Finally! The Ararat set sail at first light, clearing Barrier Island just as Trammel and Felucca sunk below the horizon. Our current itinerary calls for a fourteen day voyage, delivering all manner of spirits to brew pubs throughout Britannia. I am troubled by reports of Silver Johne and his band of marauders terrorizing the Seas. My officers report the crew has been well prepared to defend the Ararat and her cargo in the event the Ararat comes under attack.

Admittedly, I must think any man a fool who thinks himself a match for her firepower. None the less I must remain vigilant and depend on my trusted officers to do the same.

Officers aboard include,

Boyd Kirkpatrick, Executive Officer

Rogers Cobb, Master At Arms

Garrity Samuels, Morale & Supply

Officers report eighty three able bodied souls on board.

Four days later...

It has been four days past since our departure from Trinsic. Our days have been met with calm seas and good weather. I continue still to receive troubling reports of Silver John surrounding the island of Buccaneer's Den. Given the threat along the normally traveled trade routes I have decided to sail the Ararat further south than normal, planning a course to pass us South of the Serpent's Pillar. While this maneuver may add to the overall length of our voyage I feel it necessary. Officer's report moral is still high.
