Ahoy there

Ahoy there shipmates. It's a long haul back to the Canadian reefs and shrimp beds of home sweet home. Yes aye we have a long way to go on the HMS Repulse. And we have taken our fair share of the odd grapeshot from the French and their ongoing and interminable revolutions. We have just missed two frigates steal out by night from the waters of the Galapagos Islands, in hot pursuit of Capt Fitzroy. These two fast attack boats, a solid idea for our own coastal defences back home, called the SS Bon Nuit and the SS Brione de Brioche, are a very fast couple of cutters that know how to make their escape from our long range guns. We shall leave them at it till the southern lights of the aurora australialis arrive. Adieu my fine weather but feathery friends.
