Crack Head and the Blind man.

Well he up and did it again and this time it's serious. While we enjoyed the warm weather and the exotic breakfast of Baked monkey loin in a nice pomegranate glaze Nathan managed to get some in his eyes causing temporary blindness. As his punishment I made him sit at the back of the boat and stay out of trouble until his eyes sight returns to normal.

As we move up river Doctor Weems has become more and more bizarre in his day to day activities. Mid afternoon I overheard him in a discussion with his shadow over how his shadow needed to lose weight if they were ever going to fit in the key hole to the office bathroom back home and once I saw him slap himself for staring at the sun.

Stranded but not helpless.


It was sometime around 2am when the engine gave away. With the McGovern dead in the water and adrift it was up to our top notch mechanics Bobert and his twin Brother Bobert to get the engine back in line and back on course. Several hours later and excuse after excuse we made the discovery that the engine has somehow been thrown overboard in an attempt to hide the fact that these two "Mechanics" were not really mechanics but escaped convicts with cannibal tendencies. Needless to say Nathan was on top of the matter and with a quick display of his cat like prowess the two were dispatched and sent to the depths. I'm concerned about Ceidrec's choices of staff for his vessel we may be forced to abort and head home early.
