Request permission to come aboard? Why? Because I looked over this rig and came away impressed with the passionate interest its make-up, a beauty to be sure, and hope worthy to join such a collection of knowledge of this pyracy group.
I'm new to the group, but been a rogue pirate all of my life, a survivor with grit, the type that slides through without detection, with the help of a good heart.
I've attended the Pirate Fest at Tybee Island, GA., and enjoyed the heck out of it.
Fondly, I refer to myself as a true river-rat, a professional at that. I love the colorful characters of river-rats. To me, they are the vibrating energies of modern day pirates! Some friends and clients just call me "Captain," Though I much prefer "Wild Bill" or simply "William."
With a deep interest in Capt. Thatch, I've been inhaling Kevin Duffus's book 'The Last Days of Black Beard the Pirate-Within Every Legend Lies a Grain of Truth'. The research and detail blows me away. I love it, though I'd love to challenge him on its mention of the Georgia Coast.
