Captain's Log-Day 2

July 2, 1701

       I suppose its only natural that I give why we are making this voyage, that I have made many times before. Some of us leave Scotland so that we may pursue our own Religions. Some of us leave Scotland because we will be payed in land and resources. Some of us are leaving our home, the only one we have ever known to seek out our fortune and adventure. My crew and I... when we left port for the first time twenty years ago. It was for revenge. To destroy the Spanish, We had beaten their Armada yet they still fought us. They were a crumbling empire. Yet they did not know defeat. A crew of their buccaneers killed my father while he was out at sea, and I would make sure they knew the pain of the Britannia. These men that come with me now on the Royal Katherine, aren't just my loyal crew. They are farmers and field hands. Nobles and Merchants. Some know the hard labor that the field can bring. Some have never soiled their hands with the dirt. I will bring forth the colony of Britannia so that my children will have a place to call home. That is my goal now. That is why I left port yesterday. It also helps being payed a large sum of money from the royal stipend.

Captain's Log-Day 1

July 1, 1701


I am the captain of this magnificent ship. The Royal Katherine, My name is Nathaniel Kenway Britannia. The King, my friend and rightful ruler of Scotland, King James Wallace I, has commissioned me to start a colony in the New World. To start what the weak British could not achieve. A lasting endeavor, a lasting will of our power. The Spanish have made a claim to what they now call the Florida colony. The French have made claim to the North.What was left of the British colony was overrun by the indigenous tribes. Although that is partly my doing, as a pirate, I worked with the Native population to get rid of the British colony. I sailed the coasts up and down launching raids. Then I came home to destroy the British, and take back the Throne. I was never one for organized Armies. I always used Guerrilla tactics. I assassinated high value targets when they slept. I became known as the Wolf of the Sea. No matter where the high value targets were, on the sea or on the land. I killed them. However that is not what this trip is about. I will re-establish my contacts within the New World. The tribes know me. They trust me. I can obtain supplies easier than the British were able too. However I have made it clear, I will not stop my ways. I am a pirate. I am a sailor. The sea is my home. I will Govern the colony until it gets off the ground. Then I shall leave.
