The wind snapped the sails taut, the sound echoing in young Jack’s ears, as he hung in the rigging. The HMS Gauntlet cut through the water; her hull ploughing through the rollers in the bay, leaving the cold air of England behind for the warmth of the Caribbean. Up here, away from the deck and his chores, Jack could safely pretend he was flying, soaring above the sea.
His eyes closed, he didn’t hear another sailor approach. A sharp cuff around the ear brought him back to awareness, and he started, nearly falling. The sailor guffawed, then growled out Jack’s set of chores for the day, rounding out the list with his most hated chore, swabbing. Jack sighed heavily, and left his imaginings for another day.
