Chapter Eighty-Five: Arrival in Nassau

The waves kept hitting Gordon's face, and the water splashed a little to lose his eyes, but he still managed to keep his eyes open and swim towards the sailor's position, fighting against the wind and waves of the sea.

"Come on, hold on a little longer......"

He had begun to gasp for air, looking at the sailors who were getting closer and closer, but he felt relief.

"Hold me!"

The sailor threw down the plank and swam as hard as he could for where Gordon was, but he continued to drown in the waves.

"Hold me!"

Gordon shouted, the sailor was already close at hand, barely half a metre close.

But by this time, the rope that bound Gordon's body had been pulled awkward, and he jerked his body into the distance.

Even the long rope used to tie the sails has finally come to an end.

"No, a little more, even a little!"

The sailor has lost the plank, looking at Gordon who is gradually pulling away, his eyes are already full of despair and death, this is fate, the last fate of a sailor.

"Captain ......"

The sailor opened his mouth wide to say something, but was quickly covered by a wave.

β€œ...... I don't regret getting on the Jackdaw......"

Gordon's face was wet at this time, and he couldn't tell whether it was seawater, rain or tears, these sailors had only been sailing from La Guaira for half a month, how could this be the case, a young life would be buried?

The waves were getting bigger, and Gordon could only watch the sailors struggle in the sea, but he couldn't find any way out.

"No, that's not the result I wanted. ”

The chaotic currents gradually swept the sailors into the distance, and then swept Gordon with the current.

His eyes were full of sadness, the power of nature could not be stopped by human beings after all, and survival in the sea was only a probability.

Kulić has also been watching this rescue with a telescope, but he still can't stop the power of the sea.

"Pull the captain back!

Because the islands and reefs of the Bahamas have become denser and denser as ships continue to move, and of course one thing is that they are getting closer and closer to Nassau.

The five sailors worked together to finally pull Gordon back from the sea, and he re-boarded the ship soaking wet, after all, he was a little drenched, but at this time, he could only fight the spirit to re-steer the ship, fighting the rain and wind and waves is indeed so charming, but life is also extremely fragile.

"Captain, it's not your fault. ”

Gordon shook his head and didn't speak, of course he understood this, but he panicked in his heart, or he would have wondered if he hadn't been so proud, and he wouldn't have sailed in the rainstorm if he had held a banquet on the island, and if he had set off earlier, would he have been able to avoid this.

The rain lasted for three days, and during these three days Gordon drove the ship almost day and night, and the sailors on deck changed from one to the other, all of whom attached themselves to the side or mast of the ship with ropes, and braved the storm and the waves to force the ship to the harbor of Nassau.

In the midst of this torrential rain, the port of Nassau was almost full of ships, and the Jackdaw, the only ship to dock in the storm, almost shocked the people in the harbor.

Thunderstorm swept over the horizon, and lightning shone on the ship's ride through the waves, finally stopping at the gradually leveling dock, re-sucking the sails and lowering the anchor.

The voyage was certainly not so easy, countless reefs and islands were fatal killers in the storm, and the blowing of the side wind kept the ship drifting for a long time, and all the steering had to be tested for the wind direction, and then the amount of budget was prepared in advance.

Braving the heavy rain, the sailors followed their captain to the port, and even the personnel who were usually responsible for the management of the berths of the ships were invisible, and the soldiers on the distant fortress were nowhere to be seen, and no pirate would brave such a heavy rain to raid the port.

The sailors in the tavern drank very much, and on this day when they could not set sail, the sailors, who lacked entertainment, gathered here to brag to each other, play cards, gamble, and squander the coins they had earned, and have fun.

The door to the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a cool breeze blew from outside, making the sailors sitting at the door a little uncomfortable.

Nassau, which has a tropical climate, has long been very hot, especially during the hottest rainy season in July, but three days of heavy rain have washed away all the heat and brought the cold that has not been seen for a long time.

Every rain is a cleansing of the city, and in this day and age, people can just dump their excrement on the streets, and as long as there is no one underneath, most of the cities are a bit stinky, except for the bustling metropolises, London, or Havana.

A group of nearly eighty people swarmed into Nassau's bar, filling the pub, which was already full of people.

The sailors of the bar are a little envious, no matter from whose point of view, Gordon is a big captain with strong strength, this momentum is really face-saving.

Gordon, Kulić, Allen, and Mitch chose the innermost empty seats, while the other sailors simply found a stool to sit down on, or sat around the bar.

When each sailor got on board the ship, he had a bounty of twenty silver coins, and he couldn't find a way to squander, and at this time in this tavern, he was really generous, and the sailors of the other ships began to blush.

"Which ship's sailor is this, so rich?"

A thin, lame sailor muttered to the men next to him.

The latter took a closer look at the young sailors, almost all of them were a little immature, but they were armed with scimitars, and they were strong and strong, and their spirits were extremely sharp.

"It feels like a soldier in the Royal Navy, but the Royal Navy doesn't have a captain to bring in for a drink. ”

"Inquire about it?"

β€œ......”

Money is what all sailors pursue, and isn't it just for money that they run around the sea? There is such a ship, which ordinary sailors have a lot of money for, and it is simply a place that everyone yearns for.

"Alan, go get some rum, I'll count all the sailors' drinks on our ship." ”

Gordon ordered Alan to the side, now that they had made a fortune, they were not short of money at all.

"Got it, Captain. ”

Alan nodded and led to the bar.

Kurich looked at Gordon, whose eyes were already full of blood red, and was a little worried: "Gordon, you better drink less bars, you haven't slept for three days and three nights." ”

Gordon twisted his clothes, pouring a large amount of water directly on the tavern floor, and then pouring the water from his boots, and felt a lot lighter.

"I'm fine, I'm still a little too young after all, but shouldn't I be crazy while I'm young?"

His body was very tired, but his spirit was extremely sharp, and this extreme overdraft was not so much a youthful madness as Gordon's punishment for his mistakes.
