BILLY BONES Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Silverton, Oregon Capt. William Bones Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste, and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard. "This is a handy cove," says he, at length; " and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?" My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity. "Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me." Proprietor of Flags of Fortune.

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Boulder Creek CA... a tiny little town in the redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains. This is the mountain range which separates the coast from Silicon Valley. Once upon a time, my little town was quite the hell-raising wild west town for loggers at the turn of the century. The whole of main street consisted of saloons and brothels for the most part. Arrrrrrrrr!! Now they've got me!!!!!!!!! -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com

Mucky_Pete Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 I be from Blighty, residing up North in a place called Mirfield. There be a canal nearby, but there be no much room fer mighty sailing vessels.
Saskia Posted March 1, 2004 Author Posted March 1, 2004 Wow. So all from North America except me huh... Except maybe Mucky Pete... I don't know where Blighty is, is it in the US? Sevenseas - I was up around that area a couple of years ago! I have a second cousin in Santa Cruz who I was visitng, we went and saw the redwoods. We stopped in a nearby town, but it wasn't Boulder Creek I don't think. I don't remember where it was anymore...
KW Pirate Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Sounds as though you moved to a poor place for avoiding hurricanes, KW! Capt. William ahhh, but Key West be a grand place, indeed! In the three years since I pulled into port, i haven't been hit by one hurricane. We did kick all the tourists off the island a couple of years ago, but that just means more rum for the locals :) Skots - I'll be seeing you at the Pirate Ball in April!

Maraudin Sparky Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Well, started off in London, pillaged my way further south to Winchester. Went back to London. Carved a debauched trail up to the Highlands o Scotland... Went back to London. Pillaged, fought, got drunk, fell down and got up again in Newcastle. Went back to London. So thats where I be.... I've never heard of Mirfield - I don't think there's any such place! Unless maybe I burnt it down. You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough. William Blake (Proverbs of Hell , (1790))
Maraudin Sparky Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Ahh, there IS a Mirfield, and I didn't burn it down... And they are very proud of their canal... At least they have a few pictures of it on their website. You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough. William Blake (Proverbs of Hell , (1790))
