Avast me 'earties. A new quest was a'brewin' to begin for all us freebooters out on the High Seas of Pirate World, but alas, with Beta Steemit having (hopefully) intermittent issues with the communities, it seems as if the entire ocean has disappeared. Do not fret, I'm sure it will return in the next few days.
In the meantime, I have a pirate tip for ye: swarming stranded merchant ships could still be an effective strategy for plunderin' booty. This Pirate is not responsible fer failed pirate raids on land.
Also, be careful, as we don't know when the High Seas will come floodin' back in. Maybe they'll just appear where they were? I don't know, I be a pirate, not a scientist, damnit. Just try not to get stranded or flooded.
I'd advise ye follow me lead: I'll be spendin' me time in the Salty Tavern with me crew and me acquaintances shootin' the shit and shootin' the mutinous curs who seek these uncertain times to try and accumulate power on The Maiden's Desire.
Be patient me 'earties. I've been workin' with a "friend" who needs the help of many smugglers. When the waters return, so will epic quests.
