Ahoy in the nest

Ahoy their captains of the line, tis us on the HMS Repulse again. Far out to sea now, and looking for the Capricorn. And other ships besides like the old tugboat of the French navy, the Marshall Ney, putting round the waters of many French embassies abroad and spitting out its pollution like a dirty old canal barge. And we haven't even considered the Spanish fleet yet. There too there are some notable enemies of the Realm. The Count de Cordoba is a very big nasty piece of work with three decks of cannons to face. The Spanish are very reactive south of the Equator so we shall see what we run into soon.
