OOM: Pearl Repairs

[politestpirate]

The sky is cool, grey, and occasionally misting, but that just means when you are working hard you can keep warm enough.

And there is certainly plenty of work to be done. The deck of the Black Pearl has been cleared off, with debris and pieces that are large enough to reuse stacked carefully. All over is the gleam of cut and exposed wood, the splintered edges cut and smoothed in preparation for patching sections. One mast has been cleared of charred and torn sails and rigging, the canvas and rope set in one area to work on before it can be sent back up.

One of the current priorities, however, is fixing the stern section of the ship, the back wall of the captain's cabin, that took some of the worse damage from the kraken-

Scottish autumn nights can start to get chilly, afterall.

Party thread style, slowtimes more than welcome.

He nods.

"And, we just keep working on until we find someone. I've certainly gotten enough books on ship building- repairing isn't that much different."

"I'm sure we'll muddle through", Norrington agrees.

Another nod, and Wellard looks back at Norrington.

"You're figuring out everything alright, then?"

"For the ship? Oh, yes."

"Would you like to see some of the books I've gotten? At least the ones that much more apply for this?"

Wellard grins.

"The ones on aeroplanes.... not so much."

"I think that would be very interesting", he says with a smile. "Thank you."

"Not a problem at all, sir- I'll make a note to bring them with me, next time." Wellard gives him a nod and smile.

"Though, with your pardon, I should probably get back to seeing about setting that piece of railing."
