Jack lies below deck, having hidden his parcel he intends on getting some sleep to hopefully free him of his migraine. Having avoided oceanic ventures for some years this is a nostalgic event for him.
After a short nap he walks out on deck and looks out to the moonlight sea.
"Aye, I'm back....ye' basterd."
Jack then gets back to work aboard the ship, more enthusiastically this time.

Patrick lifts his eyelids and realizes that he must have fallen asleep on duty. He turns to see Wickit still navigating fine. He sighes in relief. At the edge of the horizon he see the sun begin to rise.
[ARDRICK]
Ardrick wakes up in the Captain's Quarters. He walks over to his desk and begins writing a letter. At the end he signs it in his name. The letter is due for Alaska. He seals it in an envelope and puts it in his coat pocket. Ardrick opens the door and sunlight floods throughout. He breathes it in. He sees Kurisutofa and quickly walks over to him.
"Mornin' to ye, Mate. I was wonderin' if yer bird can travel up north in the colder weather?"

As the sun spilled into the small cabin porthole the small figure started to stir in her bunk. She turned over and met with the sun as it rose. She climbed out a bit groggy having slept so little. She opened her small hand chest which was no bigger then a hat box and pulled out a qill, a bottle of ink, and a small notepad. She set these to a small table which was nailed to the wall and floor as she pulled on her boots. From hooks on the wall hung her coats, one light and one heavy, her beard, bandana and belt.
Once she had her boots on she walked over to her bunk were she kept her books tucked under in a locked draw. She got to work writing in the clean new book while looking many times at the much larger old one. A noise rose behind her and she quickly shut her books and turned around.
"Who's there?"
Her monkey, an old little fart of an animal, looked up from it's place on the floor. It seemed that it had finaly awoken.
With a sigh she set back to her work and commented to her pet as she opened the books.
"Only a few more to translate, hopefully they'll still work."
The governer flipped through some of the pages before continuing her work. Behind her the monket clicked in its own buisness.
Finished with her morning's work she set the books closed, but upon hearing the bells for the watch she quickly threw on her coat and pulled on her belt stubbling out her cabin door and bumped into someon in the tiny passage way.

((Provoka is located in the Caribbean, right? I don't believe anyone ever confirmed the Isle's location before.))
*Breaking his gaze upon the waters of the Southern Antlantic, he turned and looked to Ardrick. With a look of contemplation upon his face, he rocked on his heels.*
"Yes indeed, Master Ardrick, I give you full complements and access to the use of my dearest Morgain Celeste. However, it all depends on how well she slept last night. Though, eventually she should be full willing to make the run. It'll take a week before your reply comes to find you, but it's faster than any other available means.
Besides, I have some letters of personal accord that I was going to have Morgain deliver to that region anyhow. Yet, she'll have to make a B-line for the Eastern Seaboard and then on to London & Toulon, France. After this, she'll make for home.
Might we, Master Ardrick, address the crew and find out if Morgain shall be delivering the post for the entire ship's company?"
*Awaiting Ardricks response, he thinks to himself.*
If Morgain's going to be making a run of it, might as well make it worth her time. Once she's back, I'll be retiring her from service until she recouperates from her travels. She's the most wonderful domestic pet I've ever seen. She'll perch on my shoulder and be perfectly content, so long as I feed her and pay might fine attention. She's more of a daughter to me than a pet... Would be nice to have a nice family, of sorts.

She had rushed up to the deck and composed herself. Walking down the deck she noticed a piece of paper on the main mast and read it.
"Great, now I can ask Boola for some help."
Taking note that she shoud write to the old firend later she went off to the gunns.

Now, days have passed since their departure. They are now near the cape of South America. In about a week they will reach Alaska. Ardrick checks the his desk. There are several letters there. He leaves them for until tommorow.

((Thank You Doctor. I was meaning to say something about the time accuracy upon this voyage...))
*Stepping over to the Captain of this voyage*
"Master Ardrick, you seem to be getting to anxious for the excitement to kick in once we reach Alaska. Might I suggest that you relax and let the cruise around 'the Horn' take us where it will. There be no hurry to venture forward. Needless to say, the cruise will take a month or more at least to complete, so why be in such a rush to get there?
Be aware though, you'll get your excitement rather quicker than you expected. Weather and sailing conditions around 'the Horn' be the Devil himself. If we are not careful, the Sea Scourge will soon find herself laying on the bottom of Davy Jones.
Might I suggest that I, handle giving the topmen the proper orders on how to handle the sails while we are coming around the tip of South America? I've made this venture many a time and know where to steer for in order to make a safe run of it. I promise you, the Sea Scourge will be well tended to."
*Stepping back, he awaits Master Ardricks response. Looking to his watch, he shakes his head and looks about.*
Where be the Ship's boy?! He's slagging in his duties.
*Turning*
"The Glass has Fallen. Strike the Bell. 'Noon', if you'd please, Mr. Patrick."
*As Mr. Patrick sounds the Mid-Day's Watch, the bell tolls loudly over the water. Kurisutofa flips the Hourglass as to restart the Time Measurements and then he returns to Master Ardricks side.*

(heh... sweatdrop I thought that you guys all wanted this entire RP to take a month total so I was hurrying a bit...
By the way, pretend that merlin is here... he might still join us.)
"Arr... I guess ye be right. But fer now ye..."
His voice turns to a whisper as he leans forward.
"...need ta 'elp zammap wit' 'er gunnin'... if ye know wut I mean..."
He pauses and stands straight. Then he shouts.
"Nevermin'... we be not even near the cape. We be about at the tip o' the mid atlantic ridge."

In the galley she ate her share of food but took a rather long time of it. She took small little bites and stared out into space as she drank her water. At a point she laid her head on the table and ripped a small piece of bread. With the cup before her on the table she moved her hand over to it until she found fit and dropped the bread. But instead of landing in the cup in fell before it on the table. She tried again but it fell behind the cup. She moaned and continued with her meal.

*Turning to Ardrick*
"I'm more than willing to assist Miss Gunn, but there be no need at this time. Or are we running a gundrill sometime soon? If that be the case, we'll have to find a nice cove to set a target out upon to use as a target to shoot at."

((It's fine to make the RP last a month, but the travel times should be at least somewhere near accurate.))
Coming on deck for a breath of fresh air, Dr. Morgan releases a large amount of his pent-up anxiety. He had been growing more and more worried as he walked about below deck.
"Captain, I been 'avin' a growin' feelin' tha' I be bein' watched. Somethin's nae righ' aboar' this ship."

*Turning to Doctor Morgan First*
"Well... I would suspect it might'n be due to the fact tha' a woman be aboard... but then I'd bring the wrath of Anne Bonney. Le's jus' wai' a bi' longer an' if'n ye steal 'ave fears then come back ta me."
*Turning to Kurisutofa*
"Actually, that be exactly what I was thinkin'."
Once again he lowers his voice.
"It'd be the perfec' time ta prove yer 'elpfulness ta 'er. I saw 'er lookin' a bit depressed over there."
