The Admiralty is calling on commandants of battleships to joint the High Fleet this Sunday morning. We are sailing out at 9:30 if conditions are favourable.

“ I have what you want!
Meet me at Cape Thorpe
Sunday after the sun rises.
I trust you to bring the payment.”
– Captain Black

Captain Black has been recently sighted in the Estuary.

The Admiralty has intercepted Captain Black’s recent message to a merchant, which has led us to suspect that he is going to sail north across the Treacherous Pass at about 9:45 this Sunday, wearing a black hat.
It is believed that his ship is full of goodies following his recent raid which he is trying to re-sell to merchants at Cape Thorpe.

The Admiralty ordered a group of battleships to join forces and capture him.

Admiral Grey has been appointed in high command. The Admiral ordered us to wait alongside the line between High Point and Land’s End.
As soon as you spot him, chase after him.
(You must not cut ahead of him before he crosses the line between High Point and Land’s end, otherwise he might turn back.)

Be aware of the Treacherous Pass, there are dangerous rocks under water both sides.

He is expected to turn around Cape Thorpe and head back through Treacherous Pass. Your task is to go after him and pull alongside within reach of your cannons.

It may be necessary to repeat this chase 3 times, if he slips away.

We must force him to sail into Square Bay, where there is no escape. Pull alongside of him and fire your cannons.

After the successful battle, sail to the Commodore’s flagship to collect your reward.

See you on the water: Andras

The message below has been intercepted by the Admiralty.

There are reasons to believe that Captain Black is up to something.

We are calling all able sailors to join our fleet.

Prepare for battle on Sunday early morning! Briefing will follow.

Winter 2019-20 Prize giving has not been forgotten and will be recognised  when we are able to gather for a celebration at the club. The Cadet Whalley cup for 2019 is also yet to be awarded. This seasons Prize giving again will be arranged when we can celebrate as a group at the club. Nothing has been forgotten and I’m sure we would all like if possible to celebrate together even if it does mean waiting that bit longer.
