They leave port.

The Captain saw the very well dressed Aurélie and waved her in his direction. He was standing near the wheel and was navigating the ship through the small port to open waters.

"What a beautiful sight." He said as she joined him. "With such a fine Pirate Queen on my arm we could own the seas!" He smiled offering her a wink.

He noticed immediately the saber and pistol attached to her belt. While he knew they were in breach of his rules he would not punish her now. He would wait till a better opportunity presented itself.

"Hoist the main sail and lower the oars!" He ordered. Aurélie watched intently as the sail was dropped and oars began splashing into the water on each side of the ship. In moments the ships speed accelerated greatly as both sails and oars worked in unison to propell them forward. "Jackson! Tell the Whipmaster to put the slaves on double time in the galley. Let's make them work for their gruel tonight."

Satisfied they were on the right path he turned to the lovely fireheaded Pirate Queen standing beside him. "Exciting isn't it!"
