Year 2 AutumntideTURNTURNTURNEarly in the month the 'Far Strider' casts off for the Nearsouthlands, following the experienced 'Laden Swallow' through tried and tested waters. Meanwhile, the West Wind heads back towards Westonia. And then the port is quiet.
Midway through the month, the 'Repeat Visit' returns from the South, bearing yet another load of Sand. Not long after, to the west, the 'Copper Tang' is spotted on the horizon. At first the crew seem displeased, but as they realise it is a southern expedition that is currently unloading they are suddenly jubilant.
A couple days later, the 'Endeavour' returns, hot on the heels of the Tang, with crew screaming foreign obscenities at the sight of the other two ships. Near the end of the month, both the 'Westsploration' and the 'Princess Rochelle' return as well, and the final confused voices have it explained to them. The three Westonia ships had left the foreign port together, and had started an informal race back home.
The companies start claiming their shares of the goods, whilst a Guildsman oversees ten units of Sand being delivered to the Royal Warehouse.

+3 CopperIn the last days of Autumntide, a bedraggled set of sails is seen to the East. The 'Marvelous Minnow' has returned! Bearing a strange stain across her bow, the ship looks tired but the crew are in good spirits. They clamber to shore bearing strange fruits that tingle the mouth and make the taster pull the most amusing faces. This foreign fruit, called
Citrus, is commonplace along the Easterling Coasts, a strange windswept place with hairy men and hairer livestock. The nobility quickly snap up the curiosity, and the companies are certain they could get at least
0.9 Guineas per unit.
Gruff McBeardly declares the crew will be taking a deserved month of shore leave, before he will start preparing for their next voyage.
