3rd May 3264

  By now you probably know that James Winston comes from Newtown in Phekda, on the planet Nirvana. However, Fort Moore, on Sheehan's Heaven is my home town, and I was very pleased that we would end up going though Ayqugre (pronounced Aykug) since it would give me a chance to catch up with old friends.

  We didn't meet much in the way of piracy on the way in, and didn't get any cargo, so we made a loss trying to get here. Just as I find Jimmy's homeworld unbearably hot, he found my homeworld rather frigid. This is the second time I've seen him turn blue!

  We spent the night with some friends of mine who I hadn't seen for some time, and it gave us a chance to get out into the floating, domed city. There are a number of great places to go in Fort Moore, and seafood is the specialty here (not surprising considering it's a floating city). I can really recommend Captain Zeke's Kippery where they serve a delicacy called "kippers" (basically filleted fish in butter). Good for breakfast, too. While you are planetside, visit the Fort Moore museum which describes how the floating city was built, and the civil engineering problems they had to overcome to make a high population human colony viable on a waterworld.
