the Royaliste

...Sweating and huffing.....Well, them cannons are off'n the ship an' to the ramp, waitin' on high tide to go the rest 'o the way...Somebody shoot me wif' one if'n I do this stunt again!!!....And Jeff, well, 'ow can a bloke compete wif' a guy wot everythings 'stiff' on.......

BBBut, old dead ones?????.......

Aye, lass, we'll be seein' ye there..we'll be the dastardly pirates wif' the really loud cannons, and our general pyratical nature...RRR.........

:) Actually, the Bay here runs the gammet from smooth to rough, warm to nipply, all in the 'microclimates'....central Bay being the roughest, depending on tide and currents. From now till spring, the winds will subside from the usual summer pattern..Stalls?..We prefer to eliminate the middleman, just hit the lee rail, and let 'er go....nothing to do with reales,tho......

....Aye, but channels and bars and bays can all make for ruff water....the internal gyro can make most all of us hit the rail and pray to Neptune.....really gotta watch the dentures.....ye'd best come up and sail 'afore the weather leaves............ :)

Well, seems to me that ye need to be bringin' that motley bunch 'o scallywags 'o yours up north and sail a bit..........

:) Hey, don't fret,mate...I've a 175 horse Merc 'dingy' besides this 'ere Square-rigger..........

:) Methinks Lucky's comment was a reference to a recent 'press gang' during a birthday pirate raid...a 'contract' Shanghai'ing, so to speak......in a really small space...

...Ouch! Friggin' buttons...damn!......
