The time on the island with the English was interesting.  The three crews worked together to repair the Tiger.  She was a fast ship and a well armed one  John took note of it all as he and the Captain Jenkings supervised the repairs.  "You know that your days as a pirate are numbered.  Both Spain and England don't like their shipping being attacked and plundered.  We have enough problems with each other here in the new world."  Captain Jenkins told John.  It was probably true but he would make the best of it while he could.  Him and his crew still hated Spain for what had happened to them and the Captain of the Merchant ship the Sea Maiden.  They had been on their way to the colonies when the Spanish attacked them, killed the captain and most of the officers and put the crew and John who was a passenger, in chains and sold them into slavery, to be placed in a Galley on the oars.  They had suffered greatly at the hands of the Spanish and when the chance came and John was able to unlock his chains and then free the others, they killed everyone aboard the Galley and slipped over the side after setting a fuse and lighting it to blow the ship to pieces.  In the Harbor was the Sea Raven, a fast and beautiful ship.  The prisoners and John swam to it and took it and as the Galley exploded in a fire ball they sailed out of the harbor and to freedom.  They attacked every Spanish ship they could after that killing the crews and sinking the ships till they realized that not all of the Spanish crews were like that of the galley.  They tempered their anger and began just attacking and plundering the ships and sparing those that surrendered.  It made them pirates and wanted by both Spain and England.  John however refused to attack English ships and at times even escorted them to Port Royal, though their captains had no idea that he had.  They just saw a ship shadowing them till they reached safety.<br/><br/>The days on the island were warm and his crew got to know hers, as well as the English.  They were all sailors, men of the sea and had a lot in common.  When it came time to part ways the crews exchanged goodbyes.  Perhaps some friendships had been made even though the English Officers may not have approved of it.  Then they were on their way.  The Sea Raven and the Tiger went their separate ways.  The trip to Tortuga was without incident and they dropped anchor and both crews were ferried ashore.  John went with Rosy, as he now knew she hated the name Rose.  That made him laugh but a woman liked certain things and a name, well it became a part of them.  As they got ashore, something that was blocked by another ship could be seen.  There sat Rosy's ship at a dock.  Oh the excitement of the crew was something else. They all surged forward to it, climbing aboard and inspecting her.  "Well it looks as your ship has been returned home.  A prize crew is not many and she was probably an easy target for someone."  John chuckled.  Oh yes he could only imagine who it might have been.  Even if not, he would have made sure that it was returned to him for his daughter.	The look on her face was priceless.  John shook his head and followed her to where Morgan would likely be.  Of course John knew where he would be, The  Crows Nest was his place and he made sure all knew it and adhered to his rules.  John of course had his own place up on a hill above the town.  A small house that was comfortable.  He noticed how some of Morgan's crew greeted her and how they looked at him.  He just looked back at them with a hard look as well.  Then Morgan himself emerged from a room in the back and swept Rosy up in his arms for a bear hug.  He was introduced to Morgan.  He knew the man but had never spoken to him.  John came and went as he pleased and had never been bothered by Morgan.  The look he gave John told much and he just looked back at Morgan with a stern look of his own.<br/><br/>"I see Rosy's ship at the docks.  I take it that she was recaptured by one of the Captains."  he inquired of Morgan.  "Be she ready to sail?"  he asked.
