Sabbatical Winds

Sabbatical Winds was a crew that sailed the Viridian Ocean that was founded on January 11, 2007. The crew founded and used to fly the flag of The Curia.

In the beginning
Sabbatical Winds was founded on January 11, 2007 by Shortnmouthy and Anasazi.

Shortly after the founding, Exhaust, Biskitrulz, and Erdd from the mother crew of Royal Red came over to help establish the crew with Anasazi and Shortnmouthy. All were given senior officer positions, but the ranks of Exhaust and Biskitrulz were revoked shortly after on the suspicion that they were spies from Royal Red. As this confusion was happening, Sabbatical Winds grew in numbers and gained two new senior officers, Babytwelve and Attack. The crew then joined the flag Antheas. During this time, Sabbatical Winds had forty active members and less than ten dormant members.

Downtime
Unfortunately, a newly instated fleet officer named Cannonsmith stole from the crew ships to fund the start of his own crew. Anasazi got back most of the stolen goods, but Sabbatical Winds' members were disheartened. Following this, most of the senior officers went dormant for a while, but eventually revived the falling numbers in March (Babytwelve had left the crew, and Attack went permanently dormant).

Changes
Shortnmouthy became increasingly restricted of time, and in mid-March handed over the captaincy to Anasazi. After Anasazi was named captain, the crew changed its flags from Antheas to Aestus Numen where Anasazi was made royal and Erdd was made titled. Erdd was made the captain of the crew after Anasazi and Shortnmouthy decided he had put much work into rebuilding the crew. As his first official act of captaincy, Erdd permitted the crew to hold flag-wide game nights.

A coalition is founded
A while later, they had gotten up to around 40 people and decided they wanted to start a flag. They soon got their stats up & founded the flag The Curia. After it was founded, Erdd handed over monarchy to Anasazi.

An empire emerges
Soon after the founding, both the crew's and the flag's population grew enormously. Erdd then decided to give up captaincy back to Shortnmouthy.

The end of Sabbatical Winds
Around August 6, 2007 Shortnmouthy left the crew leaving no one to be captain. About 3 days later the crew decided to merge with erdd's crew, The Kraken's Return. Witch later joined Sheatan's Fury.
