As ye be sayin' When yer in port... An' as I be seein' it, if yer not in port, ye can't do th' job, so.......

Mebbe I should take on bein' th' Harbour Master then? Doin' alla th' upkeep o' th' Harbour, makin' sure th' bouys ha'n't shifted er been carried off, checkin' ta see if any sandbars done appeared er shifted. Aye, lotsa work ta be done in an Harbour, a right full-time operation!

A fellow Pilot er th' Harbour Master, whichever, I'm easy.

Hmmm I thought Habour Masters were some what synonymous with Tax collector??

Oh no, ye didn't just say that!

So yer sayin' I'd be collectin' an Harbour (not Habour) Tax?

Only thing I'd be collectin' is room n' board (wine, women, an' song mebee as well :rolleyes: Heheheh)

Mind ye, Harbour Masters an' Pilots did collect a fee fer pilotin' a ship safely ta port... But that's just gettin' paid fer a job...

Sometimes Sterling and Crewe has to "catch" us to keep things "on-the-level' as it were. :ph34r: Wouldn't want too many of the wrong sorts poking their noses in our loverly little community now would we? :rolleyes:

Bo

Now hold fast a second here...

ye want me and mine to protect ye lot by manning said fort (next ye will be wanting us to build it as well)...

ye want me and mine to arrest ye on occasion to give the appearance of things being on the up and up...(I reckon that means I needs add a gaol to my list of dependencies on the plantation grounds)

And yet the only thing me and mine get out of the bargain is to have my daughter threatened with harm whilst I am away ..um...requisitioning merchandise for my father's trading empire? Hmmm seems this proposition is decidedly listing in one direction and not mine.

Oh by the by Bo, Animal, Patrick and other supposed social outcasts of the village....hunting party Sunday after church ...the hoards herds of deer need thinning along with the rafters of turkeys .... too much meddling about in the corn and tobacco...

A piloting fee is well earned... for them that provide the services, after all the labourer is worthy of his hire, and who wants all them wrecked ships cluttering up any escape routes in and out of the HARBOUR... as to the Ixnay... I am sure we can come to some sort of agreement...

LOL Yeah, I could row out in my "girly-girl" garb and call to the vic..er, visitors, "Yooo hoooo" (picture Pintel and Regetti in PotC I) Okay, I volunteer to be navigator. When I'm in town, that is. :rolleyes:

Am I posting in the dark, here? :ph34r: Okay, I guess there could be more than one pilot.

As ye be sayin' When yer in port... An' as I be seein' it, if yer not in port, ye can't do th' job, so.......

Mebbe I should take on bein' th' Harbour Master then? Doin' alla th' upkeep o' th' Harbour, makin' sure th' bouys ha'n't shifted er been carried off, checkin' ta see if any sandbars done appeared er shifted. Aye, lotsa work ta be done in an Harbour, a right full-time operation!

A fellow Pilot er th' Harbour Master, whichever, I'm easy.

My apologies, suh. I was being a bit grumpish last night(too much wine, meybe? :ph34r: ). Anyway, shared duties of pilot, or you can take on the task of Harbor Master, either works fine for me. :ph34r:

As for getting paid for piloting, weeell, if we're luring..er..umm..bringing them in for "trading purposes" then I think a percentage of the take would work fine for me.

Why not have them pay the proper fees, tariffs, etc. first after safely getting them into port THEN relieve them of their cargo?

As I see it, we good and loyal citizens and entrepeneurs of the Town, should put up the fort and gaol, and man it with our *ahem* finest representatives of law and order and not "tax" the resources of the good Captain Sterling and crewe. They will have their hands full keeping our competition...er-umm... those (other)pesky pyrates away from our intended vict... ummm... in-bound shipping. (We of the town can then busy ourselves collecting tax collectors and putting them up in our fyne gaol, then when it becomes necessary for Sterling to make a local raid on our party to appease the Crown and keep up appearances, we just slip the tax collectors into the noose in our stead as our people take to the woods through the sally port! Then we gibbet the unfortunates as a "reminder" to those whose intentions are of pyratical nature what becomes of them in our good city. Everybopdy remains happy - except the tax collectors of course - I love being diabolical!!!)

If we're still seeking a Surgeon, I could relocate my thriving practice from "The Wake" to dry land for a spell.

PSSST!! Under The Church is where we smugglers keep alla the GOOD STUFF!!! Nobody thinks to looks there! The Father gets his cut, and we all get good words put in with the "head honcho" on Sunday. I been doin this smugglin' thang fer a while now.

Animal, I don't think smokin meat there is such a good idea, smoke brings too much attention to the cache, lets just use the hooch on the bluff. ;) It'll air out sooner or later. 'sides, smoked meat will make it smell better 'n we make it smell. :P
