Action - 1720 - July 26 - Escape from Port Royal

Ships in Action:
Captain J R Lapenotiere - Wenden 3rd rate

Captain George Codwell - Hermes Sleek Packet Boat

One Pirate player in a Xebec

Type of Battle:
Player versus Player

Action Setup:
Port Royal was within the red zone of Santiago

The Action Itself:
Capt. Lapenotiere received his uncertified deed for a Wenden and proceeded to Port Royal to trade it in. Unfortunately, Port Royal was within a red zone. He was able to slip in with his Mercy. However, while attempting to check outside the port with his Wenden, he was most maliciously disconnected (darn you FLS). A lone pirate in a Xebec saw this and attacked.

Capt. George Codwell joined me (with no prompting), distracted the enemy long enough, so that when I reconnected, we scared the enemy away. This was a most heroic action on Codwell's part, and I recommend a medal for him.

He then escorted me out of the red zone and all the way to Bridgetown, where I have been grinding ever since to pay for more SGS SoL's.
