Capítulo 229: Servant of the Axe - Setting Sail

Chapter Type: Character Development, Time Skip

We had spared no expense on the undocking ceremony; in retrospect we should have double checked the hull integrity.  Every ship coming out of drydock has at least one leak that needs to be repaired. 

All that progress I made over the winter months?  Gone.  Soaked up by Uses per Day for Meld Wood.

Even then, it wasn't until the next day that the Outrage was deemed fit to bear crew.  Because of the tides, it wasn't until that night that we set sail.

It would, literally, be weeks before I was done with the leaky areas below decks, and able to get to work on the deck itself.

One might think that a single piece of solid wood makes for a better deck, but it just isn't so.  For something that large, expanding and contracting, it would just break apart and need to be pitched together anyway.  Better that those breaks happen at regular, linear intervals.
