I do like a good story.  If it takes nine posts to tell it, more's the better.  

I plan to read the whole thing during lunch today.   I did read Pen's precursor to her beach story.  You've set the scene with the character's mindset, appearance, and her wits.  Looking forward to the next.

So at this point we're aware of the following:

Cal and Hook are fishing (evening)
Pen is headed for the beach (late PM/evening)
Is anything else going on the first evening?

I do have a post in mind that might close out the night.  Planning to start the next day with Abby's 'morning after,' which will likely end with an open tag for anyone in the galley.

There's also a JP in the offing between the Skyes and the Cap'n, and we may see a new character or two.

If you've got further adventures planned for New Melbourne, let us know.  Don't think anybody's too excited about taking on a boatload of fish, so procrastination is the word of the day!

Cheers,

Your humble hosts/GM's/mods/dudes who come up with stuff
