Alrighty this be your final warning whoever the whore whelp is that was snoopin about the belly of my ship. (the flemish gallion on the second dock roped up to Rosalindas sloop you rancid chunk of fetid donkey mulch) ...That reminds me of a poem I heard in the bowels of Madrid by a fat lady barkeep with no hands.. "The old wind blows across the grey seas of ages, an the oars of time pass by unheard amid the driftwood an the weeds, thas where my heart lies..." The wine talkin *burp* poetrys for women and ladies boys with frilly garments an fancy city talk. When a mans bin on the o'ol salt chuck as long as Barquentine he gets lonely. Reeeeal lonely…

It is time for me to go, and I will leave you with this: The Mermaid She rises from the ocean golden moon drawn into numinous wet skin She rises, body swaying to rhythms of rolling waves She rises, from the depths hair caressing a perfect bosom in a cascade of dripping brown curls She then begins to sing with a voice so hypnotic, mercurial arousing the hidden chords of a lonely pirate's being. Goodnight. Please feel free to email me

Upon swearing meself to a life of Piracy some years ago, I dubbed meself 'Dickos Fortuna', basically with the Dickos as a shortening for Richard, and the Fortuna sounded nice. Last year I searched the word 'Fortuna' on Google, and discovered this: "The Pirate Republic 1680 marked a second radical change of course in the history of the Islas Fortuna y Aflicción. In that year, a pirate fleet lead by Captain Davidson sacked the Fortaleza Bella Vista and converted the island into a base port for incursions and swashbuckling across the Caribbean. Fortuna has remained a pirate republic ever since. While nominally a part of the Commonwealth, it is now self-governing." I w…

http://www.unmuseum.org/oakisl.htm I've seen specials on this on A&E and find it fascinating. There are also several good web sites out there with good photos of various levels and things found. Any thoughts. If nobody knows what it is I will re-post with details, but I'm thinking a board of pirates will know about legitimate treasure sites.
