    After a week of heavy weather sailing, we finally had an evening where we weren't completely exhausted so settled down to.... MORE SAILING!

    In this evening's adventure, the American privateer Enterprise tries to break out of Boston harbor. HMS Swan moves to intercept. After beating to windward to gain the weather gauge, Captain Ignacious Thumbtwiddle of the Enterprise commands his crew to fire!

    Here we see Suzanne showing the complete lack of damage inflicted.

    The Baltimore Clipper was feeling lucky and decided to stick around on the off chance of bringing a Royal Navy ship in as a prize. Here we see HMS Swan producing a similarly effective broadside.

    The action did eventually get hot, with Enterprise gaining the slightest upper hand in close action.

    The game was called for dinner.

    This was played planning for the current turn, to reflect the small ship agility. We also used my reduced damage to reflect their 6 pdr pop-guns.
