"Yo, ho, yo , ho, a pirates life for me!" Levi sung as he guzzled the large bottle of rum. One of the deck swabbers, a small boy approached the pirate. He cleared his throat then tapped the pirate on the shoulder. Levi swung around, "can I help yah lad?" Levi said as he took one more sip of his long time love. "Yes, sir we are about to hit land and we haven't slowed a bit. If we dont start lowering the sails we will head straight into the port" The boy said with a concerned look upon his face. Levi took one look at the massive land mass that was dead ahead. He gazed back at the boy and laughed. "You see I have been doing this for years. I think I can handle docking my ship, really shouldn't you be swabbing the deck mah boy?" Levi said as he poured a bit of rum onto the deck. The boy shrugged and went back to his station among the ship.
"Land Hoooooooo!!!" Levi cryed as he pointed in the direction of Scara Brae. "Sir the boy just mentioned there was land ahead, we already knew." Korin the Levi's right hand man called out. "Ahh thankyou Korin! You always are on the ball lad. Thankyou for having such a keen eye when it comes to pointing out LARGE PIECES OF LAND THAT ANY FOOL COULD SEE FROM MILES AWAY!" Levi shouted as he jumped into laughter. Obviously the captian was drunk and had no clue what he was saying. Half of the remarks he made were never well thought out and had no meaning when he was like this.
The ship was crusing towards the island at remarkable speed. The crews eyes became worried and some hid in the lower quarters. Levi still humming his favorite pirate song continued to head towards the island full speed. As the ship approached the island, Levi braced himself. With few feet remaining he swung the wheel to the left, hard and fast. The ship whipped around quickly and the right side of the boat began to dip closer to the water. The edge of the boat was now level with the dock and Levi stepped over to the tipped side of the boat, he took one giant step onto the dock. The boat leved it self back out and a large splash covered the pirate in water. A few crew members let out a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from thier forehead.
With drenched clothes the pirate made his way onto the land itself. As he stepped his boots made a sqeaking sound that annoyed quite a few crew mates. Levi spotted the port officer. He gestured his crew to wait there while he took care of the situation. "Ahh hello sir and welcome to Scara Brae." The man said as he marked the ships name down onto the list. "Now, you may dock your ship here as long as needed. We welcome you to the island and hope you have a wonderful stay." The man said with a cheerful tone. Levi leaned in closer, he whispered in the man's ear. "How bout two shillings and you let me dock my ship here as long as im on this island" Levi said as he leaned back and nodded in approval. The man now had a confused look upon his face. "Sir, I just said you could dock here for fre.." Levi intterupted, "Ahh Lad, Im trying to make a deal with yah. Yes or no, thats all I need. Sevvy?"
The man sighed in confusion, "Umm, I assume two shillings is fair. Welcome to Scara Brae." The dock officer said as he trotted back to the mainland. Levi turned and faced his crew. They knew what a dumb deal he had made and all had a look of dissaproval on thier faces. Levi simply lifted a "thumbs up" gesture to the crew before returning to them.
