Carribean: The Treasure of Capitain Bonnard ...

Red Jack has got a line onto the whereabouts of the treasure of the dead pirate Capitain Bonnard. He has found one of his ex-crew who say he knows where they buried the treasure and on which island.
Red Jack and his crew have been navigating the island chain of the Bahamas about 10 days sail from Jumeida. They are being followed by Blue Bess and her crew who also has one of Capitain Bonnard ex-crew who knows where the treasure is buried but not which island.
[Blue Bess - daughter of a failed sugar plantation owner, dab hand with a pistol and an expert swordsmen. Known for her ruthless insistance that her crew are reasonably dressed - no bright colours allowed - only blue (or grey, and maybe green) being permitted.].

Caribbean: Burying Treasure ?

Red Jack and some of his crew are burying empty chests on an island. They keep a weather eye on the horizon at the other ship they can see in the distance. It would appear that 'Blue Bess' has been following them - a diversionary ploy ??
