An Update Frum Tha Pequod

[Captain Ahab]

Tha crew took a nordeasterly course ta fallow tha favorable squalls brought by tha noreaster an chills we be leavin behind. We shoved off frum tha commonwealth avter me Spiders been ousted frum tha playoffs back in erly Decembre an had been makin good time fur tha fair winds. Tha Pequod made port in Madalena on Pico Isle, a possession ov tha Portugese, just yeserday. Avter sellin sum oils and riddin arrselves of 2 greenhorns that be lakin tha hart fur tha seas, we replenish tha supplies an let tha men rest befor we head to tha winter home ov th white whale called Moby Dick. 2 new crew will be cumin aboard in tha mornin.




A pod ov tha finback whale escorted tha ship fer tha latter part ov our voyage. King Neptune imself protects these fish frum harm. Tha blasted things sink ta tha bottom ov tha seas when lanced by ar harpoons. They be tauntin us fer thay know thay give meager oils and tha whalebone be inferior ta that of tha sperm an rightwhail we be afterrr. A wretched thing these finbacks be, and we curse em but dare not cross em. It be tha flukes of these brutes ye dare not test, not tha jaws like we be used ta.

Well done, and nicely stated, Capt Ahab!


Per Herman Melville..."By this, he seemed to mean, not only that the most reliable and useful courage was that which arises from the fair estimation of the encountered peril, but that an utterly fearless man is a far more dangerous comrade than a coward."

What that means...I don't have a fuckin' clue!??!

Fer near three days an az miny nites tha crew ov tha Pequod struggled ta sail tha ship westerly 'round Cape Horn. Fer az miny nights tha horn pushed back ta thwart tha efforts ov tha brave crew. Forced ta drive south, we passed Horn Isle by tha Drake Passage. Tha wether 'round tha Horn be not fer tha Bill an Mary types among ye.

Tha ol gal withstood all tha Horn be throwin at 'er, but we be wurse fer tha time we spent in tha feirce seas. Tha mendin these planks be yearnin fer t'was planned fer Christmas Isle; but rumors ov savages on tha hunt fer heads made fer a change ov plan. We sailed on ta Allen Town on Pitcairn Isle.

Tha Dutch Navergater, young Master Adrian Block, sailed us sum 120 miles ta tha Nord'east an we found areselves abreast tha barren Henderson Isle yester mornin. I releved him ov his duties an corrected tha course ta sail ta Allen Town this af'noon. This nite we make ready fer port an we shall take on provisions ov pigs, chickens, yams, breadfruit, and sweet potatoes. Tha mendin ov tha ship begins at daybreak.
