I think it is an understatement to say that Osumare's relationship with his family is somewhat strained. :)
Very much an understatement. :-) Unlike with the Lady-in-Rising, I hope at least that Osumare acknowledged that Adan was his brother and that the older man was released without needing to be ransomed. It doesn't seem like the Wisewaters ever improved their station, so I doubt they'll have the gold or whatever needed to pay Narnia to release Adan.
Well, if the Seabrights ever acknowledge their old oath, Peter would be more than happy to have help in kicking the Calormenes out of Narnia in Dust. Heh.
I really liked this story a lot. I ended up going back and skimming "Coastwise" as well as reading the semi-followup with the Narnian Coast Guard, and the other bits you've written about the Narnian Navy.
