http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dl...D=2006611110335 Captain Hiott was a walking encyclopedia of nautical knowledge and loved to share that knowledge with anyone interested. The man was an expert sailor and fisherman. The sea won't be the same without him.

i understand completely. all of mine are easily hidden. they're there for me and nobody else, but i do like to share them with others who are interested.

welcome aboard mate!!

Welcome aboard from another new face!!

Ahoy there!!

Thank ye lads and lasses, a fine bunch of sea dogs we have!!!

Welcome aboard!! New guy buys the next round, I'll have a Killian Red.

thank ye!! i know it looks a bit out of place by itself, but it be the beginning of an entire sleeve, or at least half sleeve.

welcome aboard, i'm a new hand on deck as well!!

i think i may have liked it more without the color as well, but i don't dislike it with the color.

aye, tis an agreeable sight fer an ol salty dog!!

silkie: i said the same thing to the man who told me the story!! royaliste: very nice!! i hope to have an entire sleeve dedicated to pyrates one day as well.

Aye, I heard it was worth a listen. Thanks!!

Aye, one of me favorite bands there. I'd have to go with seven deadly sins or queen anne's revenge as my favorite. Anybody into the Pogues?

Aye, an agreeable sight those pirate ladies indeed!!

thank ye sir!!

Do any of ye attend the Faire? MiLady and I are looking to meet new people, that is, any people who attend. We have been regulars for the last few years, but we still don't know anybody else who attends!! We may not make this weekend, but will be there next weekend for sure!!

Have ye seen this album? It's a collection of traditional sea shanties and pirate songs sung by modern folk and pop artists. It's worth a listen!! http://www.amazon.com/Rogues-Gallery-Pirat...3133659?ie=UTF8 Also, if ye are not familiar with the band "Flogging Molly", they write a good many pirate tunes. "Seven deadly Sins" is my favorite!! http://www.floggingmolly.com/

Aye, Sid Meier's Pirates!! is a great game. I've been able to rescue me whole family, but I cannae defeat the last boss!!

Ev'ry good pyrate needs some ink on his flesh, do ye be wearin any? I've just this one fer now: http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b129/blu...mgAnch=imgAnch1 It has since been colored, but i'll have to get some updated pics. I also want to get the traditional pyrate "Rats and Barrels" on me foot. The story goes that pyrates would get this tattooed on their feet for good luck because when a ship went down, the only things left afloat were rats and barrels........

Thank ye gents. T'would be my pleasure to buy ye fine pyrates a round or 4.
