Chapter 233

"Capture the lighthouse!"

"Request pilotage... Light has been seen!"

"Lower the sail and enter the channel slowly!"

"Brace up, the Charon enters the reef beach."

The Charon sailed in a rocky beach, and its destination was a dangerous beach a kilometer away.

It is also the industry of Drake chamber of Commerce.

The last time they went to sea for smuggling, there was no such link in the handover between Charon and jackdaw. The two sides met on the periphery of Little Cayman Island, and Lorraine completed the transfer and cross dressing at sea.

But this time it's more troublesome than last time

Lorraine waited too long for Carmen's news. As soon as he heard the news, he made a decision to go to sea, so that it was too late to send the reply to Carmen.

Lusi is still some distance from New Orleans. The Charon is not a maverick fast ship. It takes time to cross half of the Caribbean where pirates roam, and it can not effectively ensure Lorraine's safety.

He is also a big businessman with a fortune of more than 100000, with hundreds of lives tied to him. No matter how capricious and adventurous, he is old enough to find out the difference between meaninglessness and fearlessness.

Take a ship like the Charon to New Orleans?

In contrast, Little Cayman is the right place to meet.

On the one hand, although it is isolated overseas, the Cayman Islands is still a British colony.

This means that the vast sea area monopolized by Britain from Jamaica to the Cayman Islands is much calmer and safer than other parts of the Caribbean Sea.

Pirates take the risk of offending the Royal Navy to attack here. The reason can only be that the prey is fat, not [I want to eat fish, but I don't want to fish].

On the other hand, it is also related to geography.

The Little Cayman Island is located between the big Cayman Island and the Cayman Braque island. It is in the middle of the outward protrusion in this island chain and is relatively close to the Yucatan Strait leading to the Gulf of Mexico.

This is the only way from Jamaica to New Orleans. As the middle way, it avoids the Jackdaw from going deep into the British sphere of influence and effectively reduces the exposure.

This is an important spiritual consolation for the British sailors who inevitably have a guilty conscience on board.

Based on the above, Little Cayman Island has become Drake's telephone booth. Clark Kent can turn into Superman through the telephone booth, and Lorraine Drake can also turn into a black flag through the island.

But they still need to face a problem. Cross dressing can not only protect the chamber of Commerce, but also break the connection of the journey.

Like now.

In Lusi, Lorraine met a suitable departure time. If he was later, he might be delayed by the Anglo French cooperation talks in Havana. If he was earlier, New Orleans could not complete the preparation for smuggling.

However, the decision to set off wanted to be sent to North America via a communication ship. It would take three to four days for the Jackdaw to arrive at Little Cayman Island. During this period, the Charon could not have been floating in the dangerous sea.

Pirates, storms, passing by the Navy or merchant in a bad mood... There are too many dangers on the sea, and the Charon is too weak.

We must prepare a suitable foothold. Even if it is not used for a long time, it will be the key to connect Lorraine's and Edward's lives.

Therefore, since the signing of the smuggling contract, Leonard has undertaken a secret mission to socialize with the gentlemen in the Cayman Islands, select locations and set up relays.

This private beach deep in the reef beach is his achievement.

Commercially speaking, the beach has no visible value.

It is located on the northwest coast of Little Cayman Island, with many reefs, shallow water and sharp waves.

But it has villas, lighthouses, fresh water, a small private wharf enough to accommodate a slup ship, and a good coastal market town more than ten kilometers away, which can supplement basic living materials.

No one will pay attention here. In fact, it was originally one of the secret places for an English aristocrat to take a vacation and avoid the noise of the world.

Lorraine was very satisfied here. After receiving Leonard's secret letter, he entrusted him to exchange a set of ancient gold ware for its ownership, named crownest manor, and asked Karen to send someone to take care of everything in the manor to keep it available at any time.

This is the first time the crow nest has been put into use.

After half an hour of entering the port, the Charon stopped and anchored. Lorraine and others got off the ship and looked at the calm beach with the stars and the moon.

"It seems good to spend your old age in a place like this when you retire." Lorraine stretched himself comfortably.

Acharin spat in disgust: "after retirement, I want to live back in Paris. It's meaningless to lose my prosperous life."

Pierce gave acharin a white look: "even I know, what you want to say is that the life without a woman is meaningless."

"Oh, you're still young."

"Oh, old man!"

Lorraine scratched her head in embarrassment.

After the heart arsonist's action, the relationship between the two partners has been very stiff. Even Lorraine doesn't know what they are doing. Or do they have sexual differences? They just accidentally crossed the barrier of strange friends through their actions and became their own annoying people

Haina stepped on the beach and pasted it to Lorraine: "do you want me to warn Desai? He is older and should do more to maintain peace on the ship."

Lorraine thought and finally shook her head.

"There are too many good teachers and friends in the growth process of little Pierce. Having an acharin is good for him. Even if he can't learn to compromise with others, he can know that people have all kinds of attitudes."

At this time, Daniel finally pushed the unlucky bell down the plank road.

He threw Bell's cart away and did a deep breathing expansion like a spell, evaluating himself.

"There is a smell of abstinence in the air. I guess we can find magic medicine here. Refine it. It should have the effect of impotence."

"Yang... Impotence?!" acharin and pierce were shocked.

……

The life of jackdaw manor is very comfortable.

Of course, the so-called impotence medicine is Daniel's illusion. These days, he collected more than 60 kinds of products near the wharf, and finally failed to refine magic medicine with special effects.

But after suffering, bell fell into a high fever in hallucinations every day, lost his mind and didn't wake up.

The Charon left after unloading the luggage of Lorraine and others and the supplies of the manor. Three days later, a submachine boat slowly landed with few people on board. It was Karen and Wang Ye who had not seen each other for a long time.

Wang also laughed a hundred flowers bloom.

"My captain, without great Cantonese food, can you find food to swallow these days?"

"Although you don't want to be too serious... Your Cantonese food is the kind of thing that is difficult to swallow. As a model of forgetting your ancestors, your French food is much more delicious."

Wang also smashed his mouth: "forget your ancestors... Captain, your Chinese is really the biggest mystery of Drake chamber of Commerce."

"Maybe..." Lorraine didn't want to go deep into this topic and immediately turned off, "is the Jackdaw ready?"

"The ship is full of charlville and dragon cavalry, as well as some supporting ammunition. I believe the Americans will fall in love with you at first sight."

"Then you have to meet the Americans first..."

Lorraine looked back and saw the sailors carry bell out of the villa, put it on a stretcher and sent it directly to the boat.

Karen glanced curiously, "is that our new partner? Your letter? The world's top helmsman?"

"His identity is a little complicated. In order to be responsible to you, I think we must let him commit a crime before we can tell him the truth."

Karen nodded approvingly.

Among the sailors, Karen is relied on by Lorraine for his strictness and rigidity. His opinions with Carmen and Haina have always been the most valued by Lorraine and are also popular among sailors.

Seeing that he always supported his decision, Lorraine smiled.

"The long rest is over, gentlemen and ladies. Are you... Ready to take risks?"
