The New Captain

Anya was voted the Gales Capetian, Beaumont was appointed First Mate, he is no doubt one of the best swordsman onboard but he has no skill at tact, his answer is to stab it beat it or bully it. The Captain has kept me as cook and ships surgeon, until a more suitable candidate can be found. I don't mind the extra work really so it is fine with me. She has ordered me to play nice with Beaumont, I have agreed to follow her orders.

In celebration of the new captain I cooked a wonderful meal filed with dishes from both the land and the sea. The crew ate with out complaint so at the very least it was not bad. Of course no one besides me said it was good either. I also made a lovely confection utilizing rough ground wheat flour crackers, chocolate, and a whipped sugary gelatin allowed to set up firm. I even gave one to Beaumont...special. The next morning the Captain issued orders to find a new cargo. I went back to the ... uh ... redistributors guild to see if I could purchase some information. I hope that my abilities carry enough weight to get good information and not just get taken advantage of. My efforts were rewarded with in formation of a ship coming in from the west. the information was not cheep so I pray to the sea gods It is accurate. When I returned to the ship Lena was giving a report of a cargo she had heard of in town, set to leave very soon. The Captain has decided that information seems credible enough and more to her liking's than what I brought. I have no idea how to tell one way or the other. I just hope the venture is profitable. We sailed east two days and lay in wait. Meanwhile I continue add special seasoning but so far nothing. The upside prolonged use will kill the pallet. Another day passes and the Captain decides to chase the ship I had mentioned, after all. I hope we are not to late after all we are out here to be profitable, not just for the view. Water looks like water when there is no land to differentiate it. Two more days of sailing as fast as the crew can manage. We arrive at what the Captain feels is the best location to cross the ship considering our late arrival. We did not wait to long before there was sign of sales on the horizon.
