  exactly is going on between the two craft.

  from S.U.D. and the fishing boat is Onegin’s Mare from

• Tim and Fecus send Geoff back to tell Whiskey Tea to 

  stand down.  They yell back at him to fuck off and fire a

  Whiskey Tea.  This dismasts the galley and sets its sails 

  on fire (-1 SHP).

• Geoff moves on to Onegin’s Mare and encourages

  Golden Barge for sanctuary.  Onegin is too disoriented 

  to agree and one of the children steps in to communicate 

  and makes Onegin steer towards the Barge.
