*Danny voice* "How is this that a map? You canne see any of the streets! You'd be lost before you even started if you rely on that piece of parchment. I do admit the use of coloured ink and lines is lovely and all, but hardly a good map for navigating. The harbours, maybe, but usually the streets closest the harbours are the easiest to travel, what with tourists and all. Nay, sir. This isn't a map, but a decoration meant to be framed and hung."
I think a cat would be excellent. Feed it scraps and the rats it catches... teach it to attack intruders...find it curled up and asleep in your bunk... Sleep elsewhere until it moves...
Haha! Here in moose land, we get fireworks the first day of July!
