It was going to be a damn good day... I could tell that from the beginning. I stood on my ship and closed my eyes, inhaling the crisp salty air. I exhaled heavily. This was the life. The only life for me. It was a good thing I didn't have too much that was tied to the land... I didn't want to have to be forced to come back for something. I didn't have any family and I didn't have a lover that was land locked. I liked it that way because it allowed me to have more time at sea... I tried to make sure my crew was pretty much the same way... Because I didn't want to have to go back because of something that happened with them either.

Today, I was to be getting a new deputy captain... Funny thing was though, it was a female. I didn't much like the idea of my crew having to get used to a female being on board. I knew she wouldn't be safe anywhere but inside of my own cabin... So, I already had an extra bed set up for her in there. There were no other females on my ship at all, but I didn't discriminate. She was the ost qualified person I'd seen in a while, so who was I to judge? Just because she's a female... Doesn't mean she can't be a good addition to the crew.

On this trip, we had several things to do though... There was mentioning of a big ship that was going to be transporting many things that would be of great use to us... And when I say of great use, then I simply mean it's expensive... and what else do pirates want other than treasure? This was to be a good night... I could feel it. The sun was beginning to set and we would cross paths with this ship sometime in the morning. I had their trajectory pretty much memorized. I knew the fastest way to get to where they were headed with the treasures, so I want to get them when they're still pretty far away from it.
