Order Only: rendez-vous point
Apr. 18th, 2009 12:13 amFrank, well done again!
Listen, I spoke with Captain Collins again and he says the 'signs' are more favourable for Friday night. Seems to think I'm to be impressed with a divination by a little witch off the wharf, but I happen to know the long-range shipping forecast is that Friday will be cloudier than Saturday.
Anyway, he used to sail the Channel all the time before the wards went up. He told me to tell you to plot your course for the South Bishop lighthouse: latitude 51° 51' 9.6" N longitude 5° 24' 43.3" W
Collins says it's an ideal landmark for you, as it sits alone on a outcrop of rock in 4¾ miles south west of St David's Head. I doubt it's lit at night, though, so be careful getting your bearing off it.
From there he says to proceed due south and we should meet up where the wards run. If you plan to head out right at sunset or just after, we should be able to rendez-vous an hour or two after midnight, depending on your best speed. That leaves us a short window to transfer the goods and then you'll have a few hours to make for shore.
As for your point about your young Turner, you're right, I don't like it one bit. I'm no hero; that's you and Arthur and Kingsley and all. So far I've done nothing but scribble a few odd phrases in this fight!
Well, we'll change that in a sevennight, won't we? I have to admit I sort of look forward to some tangible contribution to our efforts.
Anyway. Yes, twelve wands. Agatha's been laying them aside now and then. That's one good consequence of all these delays getting them to you in the first place!
Poppy, the fluxweed is okay, but it's not looking as healthy as it did a couple weeks ago. Any suggestions for perking it up a bit for you?
