Pirating!, Monday, period 1
A message had gone out handwavily to meet at the port this week. When they got there they’d find their teachers standing in front of an old fashioned tall ship, its sails furled, rigging stretched all the way up the masts.
“Welcome back,” Duke said. “Or just . . . welcome in general.” Since two of their students were out of town last week.
"Welcome to Pirating, lads," said an amused Edward, clearly in his element. "This beauty of a brig's the Jackdaw, my ship, stolen right from amidst a Spanish treasure fleet."
He gave a dramatic wave with his arm.
"She's a nation to the worthy free. And today, you lot get to climb 'round her like fools."
Duke had to bite back the urge to add “allegedly” a Nader his breath at the mention of the ship being stolen.
Well. The statute of limitations should be long over on it, anyway.
“Basically you’re going to do a little obstacle course.” He pointed out the path along the boat. “Up to the forecastle, scale the rigging, swing over to the center mast, grab a flag from the crow’s nest, then head back down to the poop deck any way you want to. First to hand their flag off to one of us wins.” He grinned. “Cheating is encouraged.”
