Barrelhoop will tell the tale of what was happening onboard The Jellyfish.
After we sailed out of sight of the pirate ships, we headed north. Once I felt we was far enough to evade pursuit, we dropped anchor to have a meeting.
“What are we going to do now, Captain?” Jonas asked me.
“Captain Peanut Butter left me in charge while he was gone, so I will answer to Captain. But I tell you this. I fully intend to rescue the real Captain of the Jellyfish, Captain Peanut Butter.”
There was a rousing chorus of cheers.
“How?” Stout asked. “We don’t stand a chance against three ships,”
“Aye, you’re right, there. So we will sail for Jamaica and recruit some help. Jennings has many enemies. We will make them our friends. Are you with me?”
Everyone shouted, “Aye.”
“Then let’s make this ship fly, Lads.”

Notes:
This will likely be the shortest chapter in the book. But it says what it needs to say. No point in padding it.
I am not thrilled with the chapter title “The Jellyfish Crew Meets.” Any suggestions for something better?
Great - now you've got me thinking about this in the wee hours of the night! : ) What about changing the title to "The Jellyfish Crew Plans" or "The Jellyfish Crew Makes a Plan"? These seem a little long for a short chapter. Given that the readers will understand by context that it's the crew of the Jellyfish that is meeting, you might say "The Crew Makes A Plan", or just "The Crew Plans". My two cents. Now I've got to catch up on the full story. Bye!
