Ahoy there shipmates

Well here we are in the southern seas now, approaching Tristan de Cunha. The southern seas have always been an encounter zone with the anarchy driven revolutionary navies of France and Spain, even now as we approach the Battle of Trafalgar, about which more later. There are two ships, two French frigates that cause much mayhem in the southern seas around the Cape of Good Hope, the SS Fromage des Routes captained by Stephane de Hayes, and the SS Rue de Petits Champs, captained by Solomon de Cheese, a real cheesy chestnut of a chestleburn, and these two, totally committed to the eternal revolution, have caused a lot of upset and anarchy over the years, as they seek to penetrate the defences of innocent young countries and nations. Even the dubious SS Eveque de Givenchy, captained by Vincente de Cadiz and its sister ship the SS Amusante des Bois de Boulogne, captained by Le Philippe de Rothschilde de Witt are not so daring as these two, in their constant and now unacceptable barrage of innocent poor ports and harbours along the atlantic and pacific coasts right round and up to the Galapagos Islands. Hanseatic Springs. Helas. Here we might find them since they do not know the waters roundabouts the Galapagos and the deeper currents that flow there. Mm a struggle begins. Fromage is ordered down below in the officer's mess, with Captain Sigur Rose de Fitzroy here on board the HMS Repulse, so I must see if I can find some Danish Blue for the captain and his men.
