I've had on me brain, fer a few years now, a trip of such magnitude that it would make the most deadly of sea creatures shutter in envy. At some point, when the time is best for the taking, I plan on heading to Venezuela, acquiring a boat (or hitching a ride), and setting sail, destination Miami. I'll follow the islands 'round the Caribbean, taking my time. It will be a great adventure! Anyone have any dream trips that they really are hoping to go on?

Okay.. I'll repost this one too. I want to work on trying to find a date and time when as many of us as possible can get together and meet. Perhaps a place where we could set up an overnight camp. Do some open fire cooking, story telling, drinking etc..... Anyhow, what I need is for everyone interested to post where you live ( city and state) and the best months out of the year for you. Also, if you can travel at all, that would be good to know. I will try to find a place that is some sort of mid point for as many of us as possible. I know that we are pretty well scattered, but, I will do my best. This will take some time to work out, so do not expect this to be ready for…

I will in the UK at the end of the month visiting London and several other cities for a couple of weeks. The greatest part of the time will be in the city of London. Does anyone have any recommendations for places to visit relating to pirates or piracy. We will be seeing all the usual museums and tourist sights so I was looking for some out of the way shops, exhibits, or attractions that would be of interest. I see that there's a Captain Kidd exhibit at the London Museum Docklands when we'll be there, any other things of this sort going on? How about places to purchase period correct replicas and items? Any ideas???

This little project took about 2 hours and filled a small wall just right. I got this flat white mirror from the neighbors trash the day after their yard sale...it still had a $10 price tag on it.....I painted it gold and mounted it on the wall then placed a nautical shelf that I bought at the flee market for $15.......after hanging the mirror and the shelf they still look like they were missing something so I hung my mugs to the larboard and starboard...think it came out nice and filled the alcove just right. I never realized haw difficult it is to photograph a mirror with out getting yourself in it....lol Fair Winds Joe

SHEBOYGAN -- The prevailing winds off Sheboygan's shoreline are about to blow local sailing into the national spotlight. Advertisement Officials revealed this week that Sheboygan will become an official U.S. Sailing Center, making it a training site for the U.S. Olympic sailing team and an increasingly prominent destination for recreational and competitive sailors nationwide. It will be the first such center on the Great Lakes and the fourth in the nation. "I think it's an incredible achievement for our waterfront community," said Terry Kohler, a prominent local sailor who owns racing sail maker North Sails and was among the people pursuing the designation over the las…

Although our landfall was at Nuka Hiva, Hiva Oa was the major port in the Marquesas. We cleared customs at Nuka Hiva and the Government seat is still there, the only reason we made landfall there was "used Pilot books"! We spent a little time in Nuka Hiva then left, bound for Ua Huka, best known for their carvings in wood. Once we were on course for some hours we encountered a "Willi-wah". A variable in the trade winds that gets funneled between islands and the venturi effect increases the velocity greatly. The direction waqs directly on our course so, change plans! After a quite uncomfortable night we made for Tauata, a small island off the major port of Atuona. We decid…

I went to Australia and New Zealand over the summer and it was amazing. when i was in Syndey about to climb the sydney bridge ( amazing a must if you go) i saw next to Captain Cook charater tours was a man dressed like Tim Curry from Muppets Treasure Island, he was adversting a Pirate themed tour of the Australian coast. It was about 300 $AUS for two, i think, but it sounds like fun. Then in Auckland, New Zealand, at the nautical muesum they talked about Maori "pirates". So it was just great seeing pirate-like history from other places then the Spainish main. also, i was wondering if anyone has been to Austalia/New Zealand? and would like to talk about what they saw th…

I am excited to become a "bornagain Pirate"! I'm in deep now.. my back deck area is turning in to a cool pirates cove that gives the feeling of "Pirates of the Carribean" as you enter at disneyland. We found a ships bell to put on the wall and even a cool little one of a kind cannon for display of course. lol. Our treasure chest showed up today. And it goes on and on... hope you-all having jolly time as this.
