standing upon the jetty and says to ALL: I aproaches the Captain who looks towards me, he seems to be annoyed but could also just bes tired. I tell him whos I am and askes if he has a box for me, he takes a scroll from one of his crew and looks down the list, he finds my names upon it then smiles towards me and nods his head, "Yes we do have your box, I will gets one of the men to gets it for you." I returns his smiles and thanks him.
One of the men standing next to the Captain is tolds to gets my box then walks off to make sure that his ship is secured properly to the dock. The other man walks back on board the ship and disappears into the cargo area of the ship, only to emerge a few ehns later carrying whats turns out to bes my box.

standing upon the jetty and says to ALL: He hands me my box and after paying him for the cost of the freight I runs happy to my cabin, after entering it I close the door and pulls off my cloak and tosses it onto my furs then I sits cross legged on a fur in front of my fire place, I opens the box and checks to make sure all I has ordered is within the box.
I takes from the box, two 1/4 stone spools of 20/9 sea island cotton twine, one net craft wheel is pulled from the box, next a 1lb spool of No. 84 3/16" cotton seine twine, I place that upon the other spools, next is pulled out a bark cloth bag holding 13lbs of 1oz leads, another bark cloth bag contains one metal thimble, a No.1 swivel, 1 sardine shuttle, a gage 2" mesh (stretched). at the bottom of the box are the scrolls of instructions, I starts reading them and hopes that I can make this proper

Cabin # 1
is at one of the Guest Cabins and says to ALL: I stay seated for around an ahn reading how I has to make this up when I hears a light tapping on the door, "Who is it?" I call out. A voice barely ables to be heards replys, "A bonds maids Jarl, she has your dinner and tea drink." I stands and stretching I walks over to the door and opens it for her and steps aside so she can enter, she places the tray upon my small table then looks around, then looks towards me, "ummm would you like girl to cleans your cabin Jarl?" I looks around my cabin and nods my head towards her, not realising how messy it had become. I sits cross legged while the slave goes abouts cleaning my cabin, she places some more wood upon the fire then picks up a pile of dirty clothes, she smiles towards me as she walks towards the door, "Would you like girl to come back for your tray laters Jarl?" I nods my head as I continue to read the scroll and eat at the same time.

Cabin # 1
is at one of the Guest Cabins and says to ALL: After eating I takes my mug that is filled with strong tea drink and walks back to the furs in front of the fire, I pulls my dagger from its sheath on my right hip with right hand then sits on the furs cross legged, I starts making it.
Using the shuttle that has been threated with double twine, I starts making the knots, its a slow process but after a while the first two rows have been constructed, as I starts the third row I starts widening the loops using the Risers, making sure that they are evenly spaced around the rows, 11 for each row. I makes sure that the first Riser is placed to the right of the "loose end" also called the draw string.

is at one of the Guest Cabins and says to ALL: I pick up the mug and tip it to take another mouthful of my tea when I realise that there is none left, I laffs to my self thinking I must have drunks it all, so I places what I am making onto the floor and standing I stretches then makes my self another tea drink using the last of the tea from the tea pot, thats when I notice how dark the cabin is looking, I had been so absorbed in whats I was doing that I hadnt realised that night had fallen.
After lighting a couple of tharlarian oil lamps I places one close to where I is working the other upon the table then sitting cross legged I take a mouthful of my now cold tea drink but donts really notices as I am to eager to gets this finished.

is at one of the Guest Cabins and says to ALL: After I finishes off that row with the wideners I make two rows without the wideners, remembers what I got tolds about keeping the tension the same from start to finish. I start the next row and adding the Widners to it making sure that they are in the same positions on that row as what they were on the first row I had used them. I makes sure that the next two rows are knotted on the inside not the outside otherwise the tie string wont works properly, I makes sure that every third row has the wideners in it and I makes very certain that they are in the same position as the rows before them.
The bond maiden returns with a fresh pot of tea for me and as I continue making the cast net she empties the cold tea from my mug and after washing it out she fills it with fresh tea, I takes it from her and smiles warmly towards her, I takes a mouthful of the tea as she asks me if she is aloud to sit and watch what I am making, I says she can so she sits close to the fire and watches what I am doing, occassionally I take moutfuls of my tea as I continue working late into the night.

is at the home of Maccy and J'sari and says to ALL: why my Brother and is sister talk I keeps working on the net wanting to gets ti finished today, I pulls each of the brails to the under side of the net so that it will flatten out when its cast. I makes sure that each of the brails is attached to a swivel so that the net will turn when cast.
I use double twine on the last 3 rows to give the net more strength then looking at it I smiles to me self, never having made a fishing net before, I lays it flat upon the floor and measures it. It measures 1 ah-ral and 2 ah-ils in diameter, so should be a good size, now all I has to do is to learn how to casts it -laffs-
