On July 23, 1579, Drake sailed from his California port(presumed to be the Bay of Saint Francis), to the Farallones....arrived back in Plymouth Harbour Sept. 26, 1580................ Two galleons crossed the Pacific from the Philippines in 1587, cruising North Pacific, landing in Upper California, made a trip inland, and then followed the coast southward.........Certainly the iopportunities were all over here for pirates, and even Cavendish noted this passing.
-
Really??...Izzat a fact??.. I guess I'm not gonna be there again! Oh, well, more targets here on the Bay last year!.....

I'll stick me nose in 'ere, and restate some 'o the obvious. As previously posted, and as far as a 'board' vessel, you must be a pirate, preferrably in a pirate guild,(Proof to me, mostly) to sail aboard the ROYALISTE. Until I leave U.S. waters, you cannot 'charter', or buy a ride, ye hafta be a scurvy brethren 'o the coast!...So, we've got at least the left coast covered...I also ehco 'Quill's sentiments, as far as crewing, and also as far as 'pitchin' in'....And yes, it's a bear to maintain a large vessel, no matter wot kind she be! I also fit into a not listed category, 'boataholic'..Lotsa boats!!!..'Bully', keep a weather eye for a longboat style in the 14' range, I be a lookin'...And again, thanx to all who sail aboard my ship, for she is a 'sail trainer', just from a different 'slant'!!..Mebbee I'll again join ASTA this year! (if 250$'swims' past me Ship!).....Now, where's the rum gone??
-
Okee-dokeee, we'll post this once more...'Pirates of the Pacific, 1575-1742', byPeter Gerhard Although the Carribean got most of the media attention, to say nothing was going on leaves out some incredible history, from Strong and Cavandish, to Drake,etc. The damn gold all started from the Pacific in the Manila Galleons, erase Pacific Pirates, and you will have no pirate history. Read and then decide for your educated selves....

QUOTE=TalesOfTheSevenSeas,Feb 16 2004, 10:58 PM] So without further ado, here they are! These blasts were about the largest and loudest I've seen coming from the Royaliste's guns or elsewhere. These were heavily packed with large amounts of powder and given an extra-hard plunging with the ramrod!! They were LOUD and had our ears ringing afterwards!! And in this grand fireball is Michael Eisner, flying solo. Perhaps he'd like a copy for his desk, eh Iron Bess?!! [ Four ounces or a little less,.... A mixture of cannon grade, and Fg grade, packed solidly!! On the way, Bess!! -
as long as Geena Davis is tossin' the salad, I'll keep chewin' the greens!

Aside from the obvious glow, I really like the video 'cuz it even rattles 'Quill, shakin' the lens accordingly! With the trucks(wheels) off the carriage, the deck transmits the concussion very well!!!!...... -

:) And once again, ye were an invaluable asset as a shipmate!....We're thinkin' over puttin' a caplock one 'o the cannons for ye so's ye can make a bit more BOOM!...And thanks for the efforts on your prototype flag, it pretty much cinched the idea of the red field! -
I don't much care 'bout opinions concernin' Jerry's personal life. Did you know him personally???..Me Pa did, 'is opinions were a bit different than yours. Of course, me Pa was a WWII redneck just like Jerry, you needed to be to stay alive..Methinks I would have rather had one of Jerry's tats than one of Hitlers... I've an antique mirror with some of his flashes on them, and with it's old patina, the flashes are even better!..If you are lucky enuff to have any of your designs stand the test of time, I will honor your style, also! (Yes, I am predjuced, as I wake up to two of Jerry's sharks every morn!)
