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 . Been in a real sh*tty-arsed mood alla tha durned day , an` ye all made me feel like life might not be so damned hopeless after all .

I`ll probly feel different come mornin` so don`t get too excited .

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 ?

Hear! ye Here Ye! You lot of bloody sea dogs. Be the first to hear that the Hawaiian Chiftain is on the market! The vessel is listed with the very reputable firm of McGrath Pacific.

Now no Hawaiian Chiftain bashing! She is now in me charge and I will defend her to the last man!

Details of the vessel will be at www.mcgrathpacific.com

--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 ???

She gets under your skin and all other ships sudden look like tug boats by comparison...LOL!

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 !?!

AAAARRRRGh !!

From Kennybunk, Maine .

Fishin' the cold waters of the Atlantic for what e`er I can catch wot don't need throwin` back ? I'm `spleshly fond o` pike !?!

Happy Birfday to ya , Mr Redvipers . I jez hope your remaining years be as happy as mine .

Live each day as though it may be ya last , an` ne`er look back with any regret ?!?
