eek "What a marvelous pigeon... and he has a note. I wonder if it's possible to send large heavy packages by Pigeon. I'm pretty sure you can not rely on European Swallows to get your delivery where it needs to be. They can hardly carry a coconut by the husk. Now, an African swallow...Ah, yes... the note." sweatdrop
*Untieing the small ribbon that held the note firmly to the carrier pigeons petite leg, he slipped the note off the pigeon and carried the bird over to his personal carrier's cage. His raven, Morgaine Celeste was currently out in the foul weather to the east delievering messages to a small island called Provoka. Fortuneatley, this left it open for the Pigeon to fed for a few before being sent home.*
There you are... rest, for your homeward bound soon.
*Sitting at his desk, he read over the note and was pleased at what he got out of it. Kubain had finally come through at the Inn. He always was a handy business man. Sure, his way of going about the matter was a little crude, but he always had a way of getting people to look around that.*
"Good man.. well then, we'll meet with him soon enough. We are already bound for port. We should be there within the day."

*Kubain looks out across the ocean to see a ship sailing in the distance*
That must be them, I'll prepare their rooms.
*he walks into the Inn, attempting to touch up the place before the ship reaches the dock*

*Spotting their "port-of-call", he navigated the ship in through the small, narrow waterway that lead into the harbour.*
"ALL HANDS TO THE SHROUDS! TAKE IN SAIL! LOOK SHARP! KEEP TO YOUR ROLES! WRAP UP THE SAILS NEAT AND NAVY-LIKE!"
*The ship, having been polished and cleaned in the dead of night by non-other then Kurisutofa himself, shined in the morning light. She was beautiful. Like a queen descending from the grande staircase, the Lady Washington danced across the small whitecaps on the water. Kurisutofa wen to the larboard rail and gave a call ashore.*
"AHOY! ABLEHANDS ASHORE!!! AWAIT FORE' & AFT' MOORING LINES!! WAIT FOR THE WORD..."
*Looks to his own crew*
"AWAY FORE' & AFT MOORING LINES! DROP THE DOCK-FLOATS OVER THE PORTSIDE, AS NOT TO SCRATCH OUR BEAUTIFUL PAINT."
*Turns to address his second in command*
"You have the Quarterdeck Mr. John. Bring us in."

Dr. Baxter thought it best to stay below deck while the rest of the crew worked on bringing the ship into port.

*Taking hold of the wheel at the helm, John slowly, but not slowly enough for the wind to take control, pulling her a bit port then starberd, keeping strait over the currents, the ship slowing down from less then a knot bringing it for as the figure head shadows over the dock as the Lady comes to a stop, bobbing up and down with the waves*
Alright Catain she be ready to be tied down.

Glancing up at the large ship coming into port, Dr. Morgan gets a flash of recognition.
"Tha' ship... she be look'n f'mil'ar... is tha' th' Lady?"
His eyes move toward the aft of the ship and up to the Britsh ensign.
"Aye... well 'en, bes' tae keep me mouth shut fer a bit till I figgure ou' wha' she be 'ere fer..."
He begins to stroll slowly towards the dock where the Lady is tying up, talking amiably to his cat as he walks. ((Is it all right if I meet you at the dock, Captain? I'll make an attempt to act as Ambassador of Provoka to the Lady, though I'm not sure if I'm actually authorized to do so. I'll check with the Governer and the council to be sure. The council tends to be fairly open-minded, so I doubt it'll be a problem))

((Great to have you aboard Doctor B! Welcome to our quaint home. I'll be with you on the docks momentarily. First off, we have a ship to secure at berth.))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*The Lady, having been brung in close enough to scrap your elbow on the dock-side barnicles, extended the first exchange of pleasantries by tossing the mooring lines to the wooden planks of the docks. The Captain could be seen at the rail as he shouted ashore.*
"Haul'to, Tie'off & Holdfast. Secure the Lines to the Cleats There!"
*As the noise and bustle of the Lady being nustled into her bed began to die down to a low roar, the Captain took his stance on the larboard rail, leaning against the tar soaked shrouds. Holding onto a standing line, he addressed the crew.*
"Makefast and Squar'away all lines, Ladies and Gentlemen. I want the Lady ship-shape and proper and ready for inspection....
*With a wink to the crew, he added*
... Being a ship of his Majesty's Navy, I hold true to the belief that the Lady Washington should look presentable at all times and gleam of the Pride we hold within ourselves. Therefore, everything that is wrong is to be righted. I want all maitenance, repainting, re-taring, food stores & ship's cargo seen to immediately. After all is stored away, all crew is to report to Mr. John and will be released to a weeks shoreleave to be had here in port.
I, on the other hand, have pressing business ashore to see to. If anyone needs me, I'll be about town... stretching my legs."
*With that, he dislodged his knife from his boot, sliced the standing line, and rose into the air like a bird in a gale. Swinging from the line to the mainy'rd-arm, he secured himself to the cargo line and swung out over the docks, dropped onto the hardwood and disappeared into the busy waterfront village.*
"When Jacks Away... The Ship Shall Stay. When The Crew Is Done, They'll Have Their Fun."

Having nothing to do, the doctor dressed and went into town himself to see about acquiring provisions for the medical deck that were needed.
