I swear every encounter in this game turns into "I cought a fish this big" type situation.

The other night we sunk a sloop that attacked us right after we set sail from port, took his loot and made sure to offload as many of his cannon balls as we could while we camped him. We sailed for a bit and ended up seeing a galleon so we went towards it. It was anchored at a fort. We sunk it, took only what we could carry as far as cannon balls were concerned. We finished the fort since they were on the boss which was lucky for us. We blew the kegs cause I don't like kegs on my ship. While sailing away the Kraken spawned, and while we were fighting it a ghost galleon spawned and we got lucky again the kraken smacked the ghost galleon around a bit and we ended up with its loot too. We sold it all and felt like kings.
