Grey Fox Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I started sailing on a little 11 foot Snark sailboat at the age of 15 and then moved up to Hobie 16' Catamarans. I've also sailed a 26' foot MacGregor and a 30' Called the Red Baron in the Chesapeake. Nothing better than having a Hobie 16 up on one pontoon with the cables vibrating on a broad reach! Grey Fox The Grey Fox is only one of the aliases known for this dangerous pirate. A direct descendant of the most successful Pirate of the Caribbean Captain Henry Morgan. He is a master of the sword and dagger. He's also proficient with the throwing axe and bullwhip. As Boson he's in charge of piping the Captains orders to the crew. Disobey his orders and feel the wrath of his whip across your back. An expert sailor he learned to sail at a very young age off Lewes, Delaware. He's skilled with the marlinspike and knows how to tie knots including the hangmans noose He's been sighted in the Bahamas, Bermuda and Key West. Most recently he was seen in the town of Marcus Hook in the company of that scallywag Blackbeard and his crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty spike Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Well I guess that four years in the U.S. Coast Guard will count for something. Qualified coxswain, small boat engineer, and a considerable amount of time on the deck of a bouy tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Due to my jumping ship and gettin divorced, me ex (in spite) took me racing sailboat in the divorce. Me new mate, gunner Gordon, had acquired a 25 St. Pierre Dory to woo me to the sea, but alas we decided it was not the ship for us. He has his 1000 ton Captain's license, so we're looking for a bigger ship. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
