crow

Puss in ... thats what first comes to me mind .

There once was a sailor from Bristol who's member was hard as a pistol , he would try fer a Lass with a nice round firm a$$ but he was innevitably left with his fist full ...

I am rather fond of the song Barrett's privateers and I believe it shares some parallels with todays Canadian navy ...

Well as I can fathom a woman should be comfortable with herown self an she should be of solid construction as skinny women have no stammina , resorseful an energetic be able to endure long abstences of me self as when we are often away fer long periods fishin " cough cough .."Be able to whatch yer back in a bar fight even though she may have caused said fight to start with. An a large purse of gold crowns might also be atractive as well . Oh yeah teeth ,, good teeth are also an asset .

:)

Bwahahahaha Har Har Har... but it hurts like the Devil when good rum squirts out yer nose ... I has to thank whoever fer the comic relief though This feller might have some ocean front property in Arizona at a good price as well ... Well ya can't blame him fer tryin gold is gold after all .

You tend to use archaic nuatical phrases in yer day to day work . "crack on more sail we're going to be late ."

One of me best mates drew my name in a gift exchange an damned if he couldn't ta picked a better gift " Mutiny ..." a game o rum an riches by a feller named Kevin Wilson. The game piece illustrations are by Don Maitz an as I lay to it the character of the Pilot is none other than our own mate Cascabel . I haven't had the time to play yet but I figure this weekend we will take a run at her

on suday night at the pub.

Anyone else played this game yet ? It looks like it'll be a lot o fun .

Aye Harbour Master I think that you have the right of it . I have read David Cordingly's books and he seems to be a right thorough bloke as to his reference materials . Most of the listings at the back of his books tend to take up about a quarter of the books .

torredoes tunnel through the ships treenailed planking .

P is fer pyrates picking plantains in Panama ..

J is fer junk full o pyrates in the south China sea .

Aye Cap'n Flint I think ye has the right of it when we post it should be a fair exchange of ideas or information or at least be entertaining , that being me own point o view I am sure there are a few folks what might agree .

E is fer eager Edward teach entertained by shootin his mates .

By English imperial measure, a hogshead is 2 barrels or 63 imperial gallons. A pipe of wine is 2 hogsheads or 126 imperial gallons. A pipe of ale is smaller, 108 imperial gallons.

Hawkyns

Why Mister Hawkins yer a right handy feller to have onboard , yer a bottomless well of knowledge ye are . I would put thee forward for Quartermaster that I would sir . :)

One of me favourites is ye could ask em if his mother had any kids that lived ! :)

T is a topped up Tankard with terrific rum.

K would be fer Knots to keep track o yer nauts and yer distance an tyme .

As I have always loved the sea and I can't remember a time where I didn't love tall ships an the culture that goes with em . I don't believe age is the question , the question is the sinserity of those wishing to gain knowledge of the tymes an the traditions of things nautical . Them other ropeyarn mother pleasers what tries to pass themselves off as pyrates will show themselves for what they are quick enough an they won't last long when the rest o the crew shuns them . There is a a lot of knowledge and information here for those who are interested and the rest will evetually get bored an head back to their rpg soon enough .

I lay to it L is for lead fer soundin fer shallow waters .

Jack it's good to see yer smilin face again welcome back I've missed yer sober witt an yer cheerful demeanor Har Har Har .... .

I knows he were cheatin cause he weren't playin the cards I dealt him... Har Har har ...

Bein as I am an avid re-enacter and a serious outdoorsman , I have learned to survive in the woods and I enjoy camping rough , I don't think that I would have a great deal of difficulty surviving in the 1700's -1800's era . Food is not a problem as I will eat anything that walks crawls swims or flies and as long as I have clean water and a dry place to crash I am a happy camper .

Welcome lass I wishes thee fair wyndes an followin seas . Now if ye would be so kind as to fill me tankard with somat wet an strong I would be most abliged .. :)

Well happy birthday to ye lad !!! I has just crawled outa me favourite keg ( Appletons to be exact . ) an discouvered that it were yer birthday an I sez to ye harpy .. er I mean hoppy ... ah what the hell have a good one mate an thanks fer keepin the dream alive... May you live as long as ye wants and never want as long as ye live . :)

Flogging

Withholding Rum Ration

Keelhauling

Blindfolding and tying to the big brass bed

Coitus Interruptus (especially when done by a third party)

Hope this helps!

By the great balls of Zeus ... What kind o inhuman beast would withold a sailor's rum ration ? keelhaulin aint so bad an you know how hard it is to reach that itchy spot in the middle o yer back sometimes . Doesn't flogging belong with the last two on the list ?
