Tortuga
It didn't help that I sunk my ship en route and had to swim the rest of the way, other
than giving me a nice pic of the town:
More bad news on shore, too! The seamstress was preparing for the new updates, but
couldn't give me a definite date for them.
Oh, and before I forget! To anyone who's completed the quests and has bribed this guy
his ton of gold... this felt good.
At any rate, I got a bit misguided looking around the island and had to use a back
entrance to get to the swamp
At least walking around the outside of the swamp for part of the way kept all of the
gators at bay...
Of course, I had to duck into the little shacks while I was inside.
Then came the rat's nest, where I went a bit overboard with "Flaming Skull"
To get these photos, it took a real leap of faith.
At this point, I went around to the wild islands, hoping for some off-the-beaten-path
thrills.
Sailing
No luck with shipping. First off, one wrong turn takes you to "uncharted waters."
[Point: Before you laugh at my relatively tiny war sloop, I have one of each warship.
Yeah, it's like that.]
Even worse, the Kraken kept stealing my ships - once, I ended up in Davy Jones' Locker
with my galleon, The Red King:
Somehow I awoke from that nightmarish place... in prison? Well, nothing to do but
strike a pose!
With my boat destroyed (in theory), I decided to commandeer the Cuban shipwright's half
-vessel and continue to the wild islands.
Onward!
