[TC2-A] Flying the Jolly Long-Johns

[Bregir]

On a scientific outing, Montoya, Cooke, and Baker found their boat blown off course, landing them on a deserted island far from civilization with little hope of rescue.

For weeks, Cooke's resourcefulness had kept them alive, and even made their existence somewhat comfortable, while Montoya's knowledge of flora and fauna kept them well fed.

However, Cooke had not been entirely successful in hiding his concern about their rescue, and had it not been for Baker's endless optimism, even our valiant captain may have turned bleak and apathetic.

Nonetheless, every morning, Captain Cooke would make the perilous climb to the highest point of the island to scan the horizon for a sight of a sail.

And then, one morning, as the morning fogs lifted, their luck turned - within a few miles, a ship was sighted. Although clearly battered by the recent storms, she would be their best chance of a rescue, and Cooke raised their signal for distress: A flag fashioned from Montoya's pink long-johns.

After a few minutes of furious waving of the flag pole, Cooke spotted activity on the ship, which then fired a signal gun and turned towards the island. It seems the Corlander trio will live to see another day!

Summer turned more busy than expected, but I wanted to get something in for the challenge :) Not near as ambitious as I had dreamt of, but it should wrap up my Era II and start Era III

  Interesting continuation of the story! The stay on the island did Captain Cooke good, as we can see he gained some muscles.

As mentioned on Flickr, it's a very BURPy build. I imagine you don't get many opportunities to use those pieces, so it's fun that they're here.

Missed this one !

The story is excellent.

And the rockwork is pretty descent too.
