I am not my fathers only son, being forth in line from my Fathers second Wife I have never thought that I would inherit. Father knew a ships captain who was looking for able bodied young people and sent me off to join the crew of the Dream Chaser. Meeting Lady Captain Jamie was a shock to a young man of the late 15th Century, raised wild on Islay. For many a year I sailed under Captain Jamie and then when my indenture was done I took my leave in a long forgotten port. I went from trade to trade selling my labor to learn skills and a second trade.
A few years ago a gentleman approached me with an offer. He had fabrics that he wanted to sell elsewhere and a ship to do it with. The problem was the ships Captain; he had angered the crew while at sea, and then tried to keep them aboard at the dock. The men rebelled and in the ensuing fight the Captain met an unfortunate end, the crew fearing the law fled the ship. So he had a ship, a cargo, and no crew. I knew enough about ships to act as captain and enough about fabrics to act as his agent. I made a counter offer and we went into business together.
So now I am a merchant sailor, I own a portion of the ship and a share of the profits. The Flying Terrapin is a well built ship of that new Twin masted Kog design; rigged with a lateen fore and, a square main sail. Sometimes Xander travels with me as we have become more then business partners.
