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.].
