BILLY BONES Posted February 29, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted March 1, 2004 Share 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!!

KW Pirate Posted March 1, 2004 Share 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 Share 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.

Maraudin Sparky Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Ahh, there IS a Mirfield, and I didn't burn it down... And they are very proud of their canal...
