This is working, right? [It seems like an odd question to ask, having to reassure herself that her journal is functioning properly. Still, after what she's had put up with recently, she can't help it being one of her top priorities.]

Okay, finally. [Nami lets out a deep sigh.] I never thought I'd be this glad to be back on the surface.

I'm not sure how long it's been since I fell. I lost track after a few days.

Have I missed anything important?

Spades, are the ships anywhere near Port Chance?

Dear fellow kidnapees and more importantly my esteemed comrades who aren't actually pirates onboard the Sea Princess,

I've decided that since we're going to be participating in this race and it's obviously of a competitive nature (and I am nothing if not full of TEAM SPIRIT or some other such nonsense), that we ought to have something to show our support! For ourselves. I managed to get half my school wearing these during the Triwizard Tournament last year and all parties who were represented on them ended up winning! ...That it ended in a tie is a load of bollocks, but I digress. They can truly only bring us good luck, though, you see?

[...Never mind that half of said represented parties ended up dying. Ahem.]

I have taken the trouble of creating badges for us!

Really, they're rather brilliant. And they can be worn right on your shirt. You may all feel free to pick one up from me, and I will leave a stack in the galley, as well. They can be found next to the bowl of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, which are quite a treat if you haven't yet tried them.

And if anyone else on other ships would like a badge, I can certainly send you one by owl whatever they use here. Carrier seagulls or something equally ridiculous, I'm sure.

The badges say GO SABERS in glowing green letters.

[And they flash to say "Potter Stinks" in luminous red letters when you press them. For reasons.]

Now go forth and sail hard, Howling Sabers!

P.S. And in all seriousness, I really must thank those of you who sent me gifts for my birthday last month. I am now in the possession of a new outfit unlike anything I've seen in this world yet, as well as a set of Quidditch balls. Among other things. This puts me one step closer to being able to actually play a real game of Quidditch here, and I shall look fabulous while doing so!

Since I promised Young Link of the Sabers a little meet up.

What:Ghost Race Tail Gate and Beach Party
Who:People who know not to burn down bars.
When:July 4th 4 pm
Where: Beach east of the port.

Bringing Dessert is recommended.
RSVP via this post by July 3rd for a decent headcount.

Before we get into this race, how many of you have had dealings with Navy individuals before? Not fighting with them in a large group, but one-on-one.
