"Okay men I want this ship to shine by daybreak! nobody slack off understand?" I called out and my men called back "Aye sir!" and they went to work as a few men grabbed brooms and mops to start swabbing the deck while others went to the sails to make sure their wouldn't be any complications whenever I called for short sails or full sails in the middle of a fight. With some of the supplies we had I had grabbed a bottle of rum from one of our crates and I started to drink it glad I had men that would trust me with their lives same way I trust mine to theirs. I went into my captains study and I grabbed my navigational maps from one of my drawers, thankfully all my drawers had locks on them that I used my key for which I always kept on my person. I laid down the maps on my desk and I started to examine how long it would take for my men and I to get to the Spanish colony of Santiago. I grabbed my compass from my shirt pocket and started to examine my maps, I had a good 1000 left after buying this brig thanks to my master. I had originally made the sloop myself with some shipwrights thankfully it wasn't to bad since it got me to Tortuga. I drank my rum as I concentrated on getting our coordinates right so we wouldn't get lost, I had to become a feared pirate and sink ships and gather treasures to prove I am and always will be the greatest pirate that surpasses all others. My men made sure to keep busy although I wasn't against them having a drink or two as long as they kept working and were piss ass drunk since I would need them moderately sober in case someone tried to attack Tortuga. I wasn't entirely sure if their would be an attack on Tortuga since this was a pirate haven but what I did know was that if their was a change in government somewhere near Tortuga in this case Port Royal then they would want to make an example of any pirate they would come across. Honestly I hate those damn politicians and their captains thinking that because we chose to live like free men that they can stomp and criticize us well I would never take that lying down.
