And finally the time to board the jolly boat arrived, Isabella got on board with a few other sailor, incuding the cook who was a girl preety much her age. She knew the girl's  face and name but they never had a proper conversation, both were always busy with their own things and time to chat was scarse.
She waited in silence as they approeached, getting closer and closer with every movement row of the sailors. With the distance getting shorrt and shorter it was easy to hear the noises coming  from the shore, some of the pirates  on firm land were singing and drinking rum on broad daylight, others playing their instruments  like concertinas, fiddles, mandolins, and  fifes; this instruments were appreciated for their portability. Soon not only the music but also the smell of tobacco reached those on the boat.

The boat reached the shore and eveyrone jumped off. "[color=6ecff6][i]The crystalline water of these seas sure is beautiful, but I was eager to feel the sand to be honest[/i][/color]" she commented to the cook with a polite smile once those who were on the boat with them left in search of rum and women, women that would not stab them if they tried something funny. 

As they walked a bit off the shore the spaniard took a small leather coin sack from her pocket, after a quick look at her finances she loked at Bridget once more "[color=6ecff6][i]I take it you have never been to Nassau. There is not much to see but how about I show you the tavern and get a drink? Or perhaps you have something to do?[/i][/color]"  she asked, scanning the cook from toes to head and wondering what a girl like wanted to achieve by joining a pirate ship, sure it was not cooking for pirates the rest of her life.
