Eight ta six knots be more than likely.   Once we turn northeast we will make better time, but if she be a frigate like us, we are gonna need ta be creative." </strong>Of course they were unladen with cargo at the moment so they had such an advantage.<br/><br/><strong>"As ta the rest, aye be you man, through and through.  Ya want me to toss a child ta the sharks, I will only ask you how far out.   We are dealing with a new crew here however.  Some might not be taken well to letting the sharks have a feast, especially if the prize strikes her colors early in hopes of us letting them leave.  Since we are gonna ta need to be boarding her anyway, might want ta consider taking her as a prize and assigning a prize crew?  Gives us more options and will then let us know who on on our own crew likely be problems when accidents start to need to happen."</strong>
