After a few hours my quartermaster came in and told me "captain the deck is clean and the sails are set on your command" He said and I nodded in approval at him "alright then, tell the men to hoist the sail and seat a course for Santiago in the west." "aye sir" He told me as he went outside and told the men "alright men captain says to set course for Santiago!" He called out and the men cheered then he started to direct the men "Hoist the main sail and get us out of the docks!" He called as the men quickly went to work getting the ship ready for her maiden voyage so to speak as I stayed in the captains cabin to make sure we stayed on course and avoided any nasty surprises from any privateers or storms as I kept checking my compass and maps while drinking some rum from time to time. I may only have 50 men but damn it they were good men and I had no doubt that we could take on whatever the kings navy tried to throw at us. I had a feeling that as long as we got out of this beautiful pirate haven we would be safe, considering our course was towards Santiago a well known Spanish colony as long as my men didn't do anything stupid we would be safe their for a little while. Their isn't a day that goes by that I don't wish to go back home to San Juan but that was a different life. Its not the one I live now after all and I wouldn't change my life for anything.
