The first day at port is always difficult. The men are so very excited to be off the
boat that they always go a little crazy. Luckily we were able to get the cargo
unloaded before people started disappearing.
Dr. Kamazora ran away first thing, again. That man has tried to run away at every port since
we kidnapped him off his sloop in January.
He always realized he has nowhere to go and comes back. I believe the poor man will adjust. He has no family back in India so what better
things has he to do than be a pirate surgeon?
Cooper and the Captain went out looking for a carpenter, but
found no one. They will try again
tomorrow, I have no doubts. With any
luck they’ll find a cook as well. We’d
starve without Mr. Durkus and his golden harpoon bringing in sea turtles, but
it would be heaven to have someone who knew how to cook them.
Tomorrow I’ll go looking for a new book and perhaps an
atlas. I’ll stay on the ship tonight, I
find I have no reason to rent a room. I
miss dear Calypso when I’m away.
