Black Hearted Pearl Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 I couldn't take being crew any longer. Besides, the only way I could get a chance to crew was to be promising something more than I was willing to give. So I got me my own boat. Well, me mate bought it for me birthday (not until June, but early is okay). Now it just be a wee small boat, a capri 14.2 mod I. I figure I will learn faster and harder than I would with a keel boat. Me boys want to name it Jaws or Jolly Rancher (younger version of Jolly Roger). I haven't decided yet, so any suggestions will be welcomed. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
Thadius Drake Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Between the two, I would take Jolly Rancher...rolls off of the tounge better. Drake
Coastie04 Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Try some o' these: Mighty Guppy Juvenile Delinquent (and calling her JD for short wouldn't be half bad either) Half Guinea Arrrgh And don't forget the host of bumper stickers you could stick on her transom: 'My other ship...SANK!' 'Just a model' 'Size doesn't matter' Of the two suggested, I'll have to agree with Thadius Drake, go with Jolly Rancher. Though, Jolly Roger wouldn't be an innapropriate name, either.

Rumba Rue Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Tell me, are ye plannin' on sailin' it on the desert sands? Rumba Rue **I can imagine quite a bit**
Black Hearted Pearl Posted May 3, 2004 Author Posted May 3, 2004 Nary, I already be sailin it on Tempe Town Lake. Barlette Lake north of me house and Prescott Lake in Nor-East Arizona be some other local lakes. We have lots of lakes in Arizona as we own the Colorado River water and damn it as we please to make man-made lakes. :) I be bringin it with me in June to take out in Newport Harbor (or Long Beach, rainbow harbor) and hope to take it out on Mission Bay sometime this summer. It's quite trailerable. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
Captian Wolfy Wench Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Congrats, Pearl! I would love t' 'ave a boat, but then the arguement is I don't know how to keep one, and me uncle has a HUGE bastard, bu' it's equipped with super engines n' stuff. Fishin' boats, y'know. I like Jolly Rancher... bu' I like the bumper sticker idea even more. Rumba Rue, ye 'ave Star Wars quoted. *hug* Okay, sorry. Captain Wolfy Wench
BLACK SKOT Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Oh Oh ....a boat!!!! I want one. Is she chained up at all? Just checking. Congrats! By the way....."Jolly Rancher" with a small painting of a package of the candies that has a skull and cross bones would just be too cool! :) BLACK SKOT ---(BLACKIE) "Quarter" Master Pyrates of the Coast "Permit me aboard and I'll be takin' over yer ship...

Black Hearted Pearl Posted May 9, 2004 Author Posted May 9, 2004 By the way....."Jolly Rancher" with a small painting of a package of the candies that has a skull and cross bones would just be too cool! :) That would be way too cool. I'm also toying with the name "Defiant" as it seems to describe her captain and crew so well. I will try and post some pictures of her soon. I have been too busy sailing her to take some decent pictures yet. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
Rumba Rue Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Ok now that you have my curiosity up, how about some pictures so we can all see your new toy? Rumba Rue **They were all fine sailing days, but unfortunately they were only ideal for sailing in the wrong direction**
Iron Bess Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Pictures! Pictures! Pictures! Way cool lass!!!! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Charity Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 That's great Black Hearted Pearl! Nothing like owning yer own ship is there? Me's got a little model too, until me's got me own again! Models are nice lookin' at but so hard to get onto
