dwgmYo! Over at the Black Pearl Sails Yahoo group the drabble challenge this week was to get a name from the Random Ship Name Generator (only one of many useful generators built by the talented husband of one of the members) and write a story about it.

Damaged and adrift, the Pearl lay helpless as the frigate approached. Jack would have thought her beautiful, if he’d been unaware of the deck of twenty-four guns, hidden now, but ready for use against his kind.
There was an air of subdued panic as his crew took up arms. Had they survived the tempest, only to be caught and killed, like fish in a barrel?
They had not.
Captain Nathaniel Goodman, former privateer, met Jack with a grin and a firm handshake, and a blessed offer of aid.
Good man, indeed! And as aptly named as his ship: The Guardian.

In other news, I am very much enjoying Spring Break (one of the advantages of working at a school!). Going out to Santa Monica to wish my Uncle a happy 96th birthday, and to have a lovely dinner on the pier.
