[Thoughts froms th' Keptin...]
"What's oan me mind? Mair than puckle things muckers!
Jist when Ahh thooght Ahh woods put a boat ta shair an' sell some silvers, th' Cycle was burst! Fock th' days! An' wi' th' toon of Kingston, Ontariar jist north of us, it wood hav bin sae easy! But th' cycle is ower fur noo, an' it's jist as weel. Fur whit da we hav noo oan th' northwest horizon? A damned French Corvette wi' twintie guns!
Patrollin' th' stoatin Loch Ontariar nae doobt. But Ahh'm flyin' nae flag, an' we'll keep uir gin doors closed fur now- a large trader ship is whit Ahh will present. But min' ye, if they shaw their teeth, they'll git mair than they fockin' bargained fur! (Ahh've got nae qualms aboot jawboxin a Frank vessel an' puttin' 'em hull-doon ta the bottom!)
Aw thes sooch an' fettle in th' lest week- wi' a brawl oan deck, an officer fallin' intae th' freezin' braw o' th' St. Lawrence, an' mah Commander riskin' his ain life tae save heem, we coods use some rest! But Ahh doobt th' morn will be restful. In th' meantime, Ahh've got me lang scope oan those French diggeries tae th' north! We'll see whit th' morn brings...
Ahh’ll see ye aw oan th' other side o' th' week’s end!" 🤨 -Keptin
