Commodore Swab Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I have been a part of pirates in Ft Meyers as well as Key west and am new here on these forums. Being young and new I did not have a sufficiant name until tonight (I live in the Conch Republic state of Key Largo). Here a party is common as it is everywhere else but a pirate party among friends is also very common. anyways back to the topic on hand, I now have a name and that name as it has been given among my peers in a real pub experience (bearing in mind I own a 18 foot hobie, 21 foot center console, a 25 foot chris craft which was recently "acquired" and a 40 foot vintage ketch which have all together been acquired for under $200) which I first disagreed with due to rank but seems fitting.

Captain Jim Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 The $200 fleet...either you are one shrewd negotiator or you're living the boat owner's nightmare. Unless you "aquired" them in good old-school pyrate style. Welcome aboard and here's to the success of your fleet. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Captain Jim Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 YOu would seem to have a bit of work ahead. Good luck, mate, for she will be a fine vessel if you can pull her back from the brink.

Mary Diamond Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Oh, Come Now, Captain's Jim and Sterling! You met Commodore Swab at PiP ~ not even a little good-natured banter about his name? Your new moniker is perfectly fitting, my Dear! Commodore Swab is just that ~ he swabbed the Commodore's cannons in his red breeches and white shirt, and was chastised for bleeding on the mortar. Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Welcome to the Pub, Commodore Swap. Quite a fleet you have there. But, I got to be honest, I'm not telling me other half about you and your project boat. He's been wanting to take on something like that for a while now, and I don't want to encourage him. I'm perfectly satisfied with our 28' vintage Tollycraft. Cheers, mate. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Captain Jim Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Oh, Come Now, Captain's Jim and Sterling! You met Commodore Swab at PiP ~ not even a little good-natured banter about his name? Your new moniker is perfectly fitting, my Dear! Commodore Swab is just that ~ he swabbed the Commodore's cannons in his red breeches and white shirt, and was chastised for bleeding on the mortar. Actually I was taking his name a little more litteraly...a swab is a young sailor, and a commodore is in command of more than one ship. Hence Commodore Swab, without reference to the cannon experience. I hadn't thought of that. So many levels, that name. Of course we're going to calll you Swab, you know.
