Jerry Dipoto’s Ship Mariner encountered a pirate vessel and soundly defeated the brigands.
Captain’s Log, 28 June in the year of our Lord 2016, Captain Servais commanding JDS Mariner.
We had weathered the storm rounding Cape Horn and were looking forward to a few days spent making repairs and recovering some morale. It was a few hours before twilight when the officer on deck spotted sails on the horizon, silhouetted against the bright skies. Because the ship had been lying ahull to weather the choppy seas, the sails had been luffing all day. The unidentified ship was approaching from the east and closing quickly.
