You remember little of the night before. A storm, howling winds and rain, the crack of the main mast and then water and darkness. You wash ashore in the early hours of the dawn. Your body is bruised and battered from the long swim and the collapse of your ship. You are wounded and know that you can only take two more wounds of this severity before you succumb. The beach is covered in debris from the wreck. You were headed toward Antigua when the storm hit your ship. You believe that you may have been in the Leeward Passage when the storm came up and drove your ship over a corral head. All you have are 3 items you managed to grab before you were washed overboard. …

You are shipwrecked on an island in the Caribbean after a storm sinks your ship. You may choose 3 items (material items not people) to take with you before the ship slides beneath the surface. You have one set of clothes that does not count toward your 3 items.

Just some fun stuff. CBS News White House Back-Story: The President And The Pirate "Pity the poor historian a couple hundred years from now, at a loss to figure out why Barack Obama, an American president at the start of the 21st century, was photographed meeting in the Oval Office with – a pirate." As if we don't have enough trouble deciphering visual renditions already! The article says "To get a Blackbeard, you just don’t look up “pirate” in the Yellow Pages" Captain, are we in the yellow pages yet? It also says "He was “more than game,” said an official familiar with the shenanigans, “as long as the costume was legit.”" Should we explain what legitimate means …

I was talking to Glasgow Jon on Skype today & he told me that one of his mates posted on Facebook about something very interesting that happens when you click on the link at the bottom left of the page that says "English (UK)" - that would be "English (US)" to those of us on this side of the pond...when you click on it it gives you various language options, but the most interesting of those is "English (Pirate)".... yes, folks that is "English (Pirate)" ... basically (and this is very, very cool!) it means that you can "Parlay in Pirate" on Facebook!!! EX: 1) Home - Home Port 2) Friends - Me Hearties 3) Chat - Parlay, thar be 4) Notifications - Hail Shots

this arrived in our crew email- does anyone have any idea???? "I have been trying to locate a film I saw as a child but my memories are so hopelessly dim that I may not be accurate in what I am about to ask. I recall seeing a film, 40's-50's vintage, in which during modern times a man, working with a divining rod looking to find water, found the head of what I seem to recall was Blackbeard. The head was able to move its lips, though no sound emerged, and was stashed in a hat box, of all places. The head ultimately led the finder to the body to which it was reunited. It was a film that was so bad it was great. If anyone among your jolly crew would know what this film …

I'll kick it off with one of my Faves: The Island (1980) Written by Peter Benchley (author of 'Jaws') Michael Cain stars Blair Maynard, an inquisitive British reporter who sets out to investigate a series of mysterious ocean disappearances in the Caribbean. While flying over the questionable area with his young son in tow, Maynard's airplane crashes and the two are subsequently stranded on an isolated island, uncharted by the modern world. In time they are captured by descendants of a band of seventeenth-century pirates who, from their base on a remote island, raid and destroy any boat that enters their "territorial waters." After enduring torture, Caine and his young…
