  5. On Youtube check out "The Buccaneers" tv show from 1958, also "Jamaica Inn"... I Prefer the 1939 Hitchcock version.
  6. Ive been doing a lot of work on my kit lately. I just finished a hammock. The ringbolt is done in cock's combing with some tarred marline. I roped the bottom of my ditty bag. I also made a sheath for my knife and marlin spike, and hitched my needle case. The knife sheath is canvas painted with several coats of spar varnish, then French hitched with some turks heads too, and painted over with more varnish. The fid I made form hickory but the seam rubber I purchased. The hat was made for me by a friend. The penny knife is an original from the 19th C and given to me by a friend.

  13. "Darby McGraw, fetch aft the rum!" is an all time favorite, as is "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum" but nothing beats a coniving smile, a low chuckle and a good ol' "yaaarrr" Then you know an act of piracy is surely about to take place.

  15. This is my favorite pirate movie. Walter Mathau is my hero.
  16. Roman Polanski's "Pirates"... the best pirate movie ever, now if only they would release it on DVD "George's Island"... An awesome movie about a boy, his grandpa and some ghost pirates.
  17. Spanish Ladies Em..........................C..............D Fairwell and Adieu to you Spanish Ladies, Em..........................C.................D Farewell and adieu to you Ladies of Spain .....G...................D................Em...........G For we've recieved orders for to sail for old England ..........Am7........D.................C..........D.Em But we hope in a short while to see you again Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish Ladies, Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain; For we've received orders for to sail for ol' England, But we hope in a short while to see you again. Chorus We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors, We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt sea. Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England; From Ushant to Scilly is thirty five leagues. We hove our ship to with the wind from sou'west, boys We hove our ship to, deep soundings to take; 'Twas forty-five fathoms, with a white sandy bottom, So we squared our main yard and up channel did make. The first land we sighted was called the Dodman, Next Rame Head off Plymouth, off Portsmouth the Wight; We sailed by Beachy, by Fairlight and Dover, And then we bore up for the South Foreland light. Repeat Chorus Then the signal was made for the grand fleet to anchor, And all in the Downs that night for to lie; Let go your shank painter, let go your cat stopper! Haul up your clewgarnets, let tacks and sheets fly! Now let ev'ry man drink off his full bumper, And let ev'ry man drink off his full glass; We'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy, And here's to the health of each true-hearted lass. Repeat Chorus
