You know what's an awesome word? Staunch. Yeah. You should so use it :)
Advance retreat advance advance ballustra advance LUNGE! recover retreat advance parry RIPOSTE! It's a valid hit! (points fer me!) If you ever want help w/ the swordplay, love, don't hesitate to ask ;) Most of my experience is against lefties, too... or, well, one lefty. But he graduated. I think. I hope.

HAHAHA! Oh man. Jack is SO well-written!! I'm hearing it all in his voice and that ROCKS. Your grammar's improving a lot; all I noticed was a couple of typos, and I'll forgive you those ;)
On to ch. 2!

Hey! The concept here is good. I liked the ship having silver sails - it contrasts nicely with the infamous black sails of the Pearl. I also liked the whole build up with the Black Winged Angel. My only suggestion would be that it was a bit confusing (for me, that is) regarding Jack - it's told in first person - Jack's POV, which is cool, but I was really confused at first because the dialogue didn't quite sound like Jack to me. But overall this is a nice start and you've got an intriguing story, it's sure to be good! : )

Cheers,
Del

PS - This line made me giggle:

"They weren’t exactly treasures, but they weren’t crones either." Heehee, that was good!
