Aboard the Dauntless Ch. 4: All I Ask Is a Tall Ship

Summary: Jack is itching to get his hands on the Dauntless. Tag with Murtogg and Mulroy. The commodore shows up. We have now abandoned the movie and are sailing uncharted seas. Just some fun playing with an idea I got from Ted and Terry and Co. that Jack is hooked up to the universe a little differently than most. He seems to know what the weather will be before anyone else, and anyone who would sail the Interceptor in that sort of storm without reefing her sails has to be either mad or a genius at knowing just how to sail to avoid split canvas and snapped spars—or both. Hey, I know it was a model. You know it was a model. But in the movie universe that storm happened. More movie novelization including deleted scenes and filler—the second trip to Isla de Muerta.

Thanks and one small Caribbean Island in a nearby universe go to geek_mama_2 for beta work on this. Thanks also to torn_eledhwen for checking on my sailing terminology. Any errors and inconsistencies remain mine.
