Story Note

 

Before reading this story, consider:
1. It contains graphic descriptions of sex.
2. British money was denominated in either Guineas or Pounds. A Guinea was worth about 25-30 shillings, while a Pound was worth about 20 shillings. If coins are used, the reference is in Guineas, otherwise it is in Pounds. A guinea is worth approximately $300 US dollars in 2012, which means a shilling was worth approximately $10.
3. The characters in this story are fictional with the exception of some well-known historical figures. The involvement of those characters is fictional.
4. The story is written with modern day language, as opposed to that used in 18th century England.

    I'm posting this one a little early, to try and make up for the long hiatus.  I'm trying to get back onto a weekly schedule.

    This one is out really early, and will throw my posting schedule off, but I think that when we're in the midst of a battle, the chapters need to come out more quickly.  I think, and I hope you agree, that when we're in the middle of a big campaign, we're better to have periods of faster postings followed by periods of calm (sprint and drift) than consistently spaced out chapters.  Let me know if the forums if you agree.

    A caveat: This is the last chapter I've written, so we may have a bit of a dry spell for our naval hero.  I'll do my best to get back on track, but these are busy times. Spring break may give me an opportunity to catch up.
