Me wench served up a juicy Porterhouse steak fur me tanight , an` I jez finished gnawin` dat t-bone real good afore I tossed it o`er to me wench so she could eat sumpin` too ?!? An` one o` me girls give me a new wool sheepskin fa me an` da wench ta sleep on on accounta dem winters gits mighty cold here , yez they do ! Ya shoulda seen da birfday cake da wench baked up fa tha ol` dawg ! 'Twas a sight ta behold once she got done shmearin` da sweet stuff all o`er it ?! (She e`en let me lick da good stuff offen her fingers an` one ting led ta another , if ya knows what I mean . Argh! Dem little blue things da Royaliste give me come in right handy `bout then, but don`t tell anybody I said nothin` `bout dat !!) So , thankee one an` all fa helpin` Ol` Cappy celebrate another day o` his miserable existance . I`m markin` another notch on me ol` bedpost .

I raise me tank to ye all ?!! AAAARRRRGh !! Somebody bust one o` dem kegs fer me an` den we all be drinkin` an` shoutin` !!!! God bless ye all, Very truly yours, Captain Sinclaire

She be a beauty . I love `em all , yez I do .

Me thinks we gots some slow learners here. Still be some rocks bein` thrown by thems wot lives in glass houses . Arrgggh ! Some of ye needs to wise up an` recognize that ya don`t know e`rythin ya think ya do . So ease off tha Lady an` tha Chieftain an` any other ship ya don`t think lives up to yer shallow standards of what ya think deserves yer respect . Most good sailors don`t give a tinker`s damn what ya think about their ships . They just be sailin` along , makin` a livin` from tha sea whilst tha rest o` ya here jez be playin` on it . So get o`er it already an` just play wif them who be willin` to engage wif ya an` don`t fret o`er the rest . I been makin` my livin` off da sea too damn long to claim one ship be finer than tha other . So long as a boat be maintained proper an` treated wif da respect it deserves , it IS a fine ship an` damn tha fools that say otherwise . :angry:

That be `ZACTLY wut I sez to `er when she broke da news ta me ?!?

I jez don`t know wut ta think `bout dis . Tha ol` gal been hangin` out down at da warf some here lately ?

--cleans tha skid marks off me ol` specks on Alby Bill`s apron-- Uh , yez ! Tha fine art o` communicatin` .... Lemme sees if I can put this conversation back on track wif Mr McGraw's original post !?! I think this be a fine spot fer it , an` Bully --- I`ll be savin` up me military pension fer tha Hawaiian Chieftan , to be sure . She`s unsurpassed in her beauty , matched only by tha The Lady Washington . Two o` tha finest ships on the west coast , sez I . An` , yez , I DO know about these things !?! Argh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kinda spooky , ain`t it ???

Lassie , anyone who`s made their livin` on the sea knows , whether it be from the fishin` rigs to tha tugboats to cargo vessels , even tha naval vessels , thar be a big difference between them. They all have a purpose to serve , and they are all glorious in their own right . I`d think ya all would have figured that out by now . There is no joy or good to be found in speakin` ill of any ocean goin` vessel. It`s bad luck and bound to bring your fine crew a certain misfortune.

Good fer ya , son . Just keep a light heart about it all an` recognize thar be plenty o` fine vessels on the water . :)

You sure do get riled up, don`t ya , son. Jez be careful `bout slingin` mud at the other fine ships . I rekon nobody`ll be takin` pot shots at tha Royalist then . give a little , git a little , eh wot ?!?

Pah! Sailing with the motor runnin` ain't exactly sailin`, Royalist ! Har , har , har !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me thinks he otter swap `at ol` rickety boat fer sompin` wot gots trainin` wheels attached .

Mebee we`s otta just takes `em both ? I`m thinkin` hard on it , yez I be . Fire in tha hole , indeed !!! I gots a 12-pounder just waitin` fa action !!! AAAARRRRGh !!

Argh ! I sez we otta buy tha Chieftan an` then takes The Lady as a prize !!! Then we`d be tha most feared dogs ta hit tha high seas , yez we be ?! Avast , so long as ye don`t burn it all ta a crisp , eh , ya ol` gasflabber !?!
