Given that the Navy has larger ships, more experienced crews, and far more canon on-deck than we can match I would not take the threat so lightly. To them we are nothing more than pirates.

I am only surprised to find they gave us warning before hanging the lot they found on the island they militarized. It was far more generous than I would have expected.

[But the idea about watching the Navy was a wise one, and he was more than willing to share gather information on that. ]

Have you seen much of the navy where you are?
