While sailing thru The Arc, I came across a journal in a bottle.

Captain [redacted]. I just bought my ship, The Rabid Anchovy at a discount from the portmaster in Port Sarim that has been visiting the Wushanko Isles for some time now.
I've got a crew lined up. Didn't cost me much. Most were willing to work for cheap beer than gold or chimes.
Runedate 7705
The Rabid Anchovy is stocked up and ready to go. I've even got my first contract to deliver some supplies ... from ... well ... let's just say a few fellas from Draynor Village that are best left unnamed. We set sail tommorrow.
Runedate 7712
We've been followed by several days by a ship. They've followed our every move. They've been gaining.
Runedate 7713
They got close enough now. Skulls Pirates. Wonderful. We don't even have any weapons on this ship ... unless you count the cheap 'rum' and the stench of the crew.
Runedate 7715
Spotted 2 other ships. Skulls too. We're making a run for an island in the hopes to catch them on the reefs of something.
Runedate 7720
Well. The plan worked. Sort of. My ship got wrecked on the reef. The Skulls got my crew. They laughed at what little cargo they could scoop up. I'm going to have to swim to the island.
Runedate 7730
Not much food on the island. Storm came thru and destroyed what was left of The Rabid Anchovy. Not even any useful debris. I chopped down one of the Palm Trees to make a canoe. The tree wasn't as sturdy as I hoped. No choice. I've christened it The Captain's Log. Going to set sail tomorrow and try my luck back at sea.
