So, you want to join the harbour gang?
Can't say we blame you.
Playing pirates on the beach, secret meetings, scavenging for treasure,
getting swept away to strange lands. . .

Well, we're always looking for new recruits,
but we don't let just anyone join up.
If you want to join, you have to take an inititation test.

Normally it involves dangling off the quayside
or seeing how many covins you can eat,
but since you might not live near us we've set up a new test:

All you have to do, is decode this message we've left you,
and go to the webpage it reveals – that's our secret online meeting place.

There are competitions, lots of funs stuff to do and you can talk to other harbour gang members,
so what are you waiting for?!

The code can be cracked if you know the keyword – here's a guide on how to create the codebreaker.
The keyword is the name of the mermaid Rosie meets in the book The Island That Wasn't There.
(So you can find the answer in the book, or take a look around this site – the answer is here too!)

Good luck, and see you at the meeting place!
The Harbour Gang

PS - You're getting off lightly. For my initiation, I had to find something that had never been found by man (or woman) before, and that led me on an incredible adventure to a mysterious disappearing island (I'll tell you more about it here).
You never know where some things will lead you!
