Rhys Flaidd DeTaillefer Kurosawa-san: "I came here with my father from 42 years ago, I was only 5 then...and barely remember crossing the sea." We are sailing up "The Lifeflow" with our new-found friends...apparently due to the rocky, volcanic nature of this end of the river, our ships, even the larger ones, can travel some 12 miles up river before reaching an escarpment of waterfalls that feeds the lower river. Le Dindon on The Lifeflow.... on Flickr Kurosawa-san's group made their home here in a bend of the river, 10 miles upstream from Bastion, that stills the waters to a glassy, lake-like consistency....

Saga of the Sea Rats, Volume 1: Piraat Rhys in Bastion Previous: A new arrival in Bastion... Next: "Le Dindon" |~+=@&@=+~|~+=@&@=+~|~+=@&@=+~| Log Entry Capt. Rhys Flaidd DeTaillefer Bastion, Day 134 License type: Artisan (small) Despite my suspicions to the contrary, old man Plantagenet made good on his promise...17 days after we arrived in Bastion, the supplies he promised, and more, arrived. Brit and I found an abandoned set of walls that made for a great workshop...It appears the structure may have burned at some time in the past...but the walls are stone and masonry...and as sturdy as an ox. After another few weeks of scrounging and bartering with our new neighbors, The Sail Company opened her doors.... Moonraker Sail Company Repaint by Christopher Briggs, on Flickr Lady Marcia has hired a few talented locals to assist in the cutting room... Moonraker Sail Company workshop on Flickr The Plantagenets' personal carpenters made, for us, a superb cutting table of the finest quality. We surely will have much work out here upon the great sea, I worry what favors will be asked of us by the family down the road.... Planning the cut - Cutting Table - Moonraker Sail Company on Flickr The shop has become somewhat of a "place to be seen" for the local ladies....(of the night, that is....) Ladies of the night about town on Flickr As a matter of fact, this guy has been here for days......
