Matty Bottles Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Perhaps a rename to the "Harry S."? Heck, why not call it the True Men (Truman) in an oblique reference to the donor Harry S? "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt. Joshua Slocum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriarRose Kildare Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Umm, gentlemen, it is not a matter of stealing, but commadeering. If you wish, I could go down there and perhaps persuade the owner with my big blue-green eyes.

Lily Alexander Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Can I offer a suggestion BriarRose? While one red-head on her own is pretty tough to resist, I think between the two of us we could take possession of that boat before they even knew what hit em' If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Sterling Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Are ye sure yer not wantin to be a pyrate hunter instead of a mere pyrate? After all they say we were just as bad and in many cases worse... and Ladies I certainly like the way ye be thinkin!!

BriarRose Kildare Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Dear Captain Sterling....if the price is right then I would be one or the other. And I might add, that given me mood, I will do almost about anything on a dare. But one thing for certain regardless of coin, I am loyal to those who are dear to me. And my word is my bond. But if ye be wanting that ship then I am game to commandeer it by any means given the opportunity. And me thinks with Lily and I, we could claim it with little effort....

Jack Roberts Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Well, well, if the ladies can pull off another boat that would be a good bit of "piratin". But back to the topic, what colors might we be wantin' the boat, we do have, to be? Not being a carpenter myself, how would one go about filling in the gap in the back? Then how would one place the oar locks? If I did get the chance to go down there for a weekend to paint her, would I need all that finished before hand? Would we have to strip down the old paint or just cover over the old paint? Oh and what kind of paint do you use for a boat like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 No, no. That's just fine if the ladies get another boat. I want them to get another boat. I want them to get 12 more boats, including a really big one with a gun deck, but we're talking about the needs of this particular boat at the moment. This is just an effort to keep the thread less convoluted. So, for the record, anyone wishing to commandeer more boats, you are highly encouraged to do so. Go forth and conquer.
