Cap'n Crusty Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 ....not enough swabbies..... I shoulda registered with a name like "Cabin Boy Crusty" or some-such-like. At least then, I'd know me place! ....dances on tables when drunk......
Captain Goodwench Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Well ya know a man's place is... In me bunk!!! Many call themselves 'Captain', but they have no ship!! Hell, a true pirate Captain never knows his place. That's why he roves the sea takin' it from others.
Capt. Iron Faith Cutler Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 By the powers, you're right! I always figured there were more captains than hands on the Internet. That's the lovely thing about the digital sea, we can all indulge our egos and imaginations. The only swabbies I have in real life are three feline bilge rats that don't give a rat's ass about following my orders. Now I'll have a tankard of that fine, aged, rare digital rum! Iron Faith A pyrate's life for me.
Captain_MacNamara Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 I 'appen to have a fine crew of 8 at my command... course, we are still working on our ship... (more of a little boat, but it'll look the part when we're done ) Then we'll start takin' over whatever lakes strike our fancy. And 'er's a round to ye captains who are still searchin' for a crew! May the wind be ever at yer back, and may ye 'ave luck in yer travels. Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
Capt. Flint Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Capt. Goodwench... it seems your name fits your attitude... and thats a good thing. To many capt.s ... not enough ships... but plenty of sea to roam. .....and just for the record, I have me own boats. A we one for me and me little ones and something a tad bigger for me whole crew. ....... okay.... how about a little survey..... and I know we have done this before, but, who cares..... how many here are really captns...... just a thought...................

Saber Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 I be a displaced Captain... My boat is in Oregon and now I'm in California! Still I'd rather crew aboard the Royaliste then Captain my own boat. Seems a bit strange? LOLOL Saber
Duncan McGuyver Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Well for the Juryrig there is more crew than boat. We currently have 14 souls in addition to her Captain. All but 4 of the crew is based in the Wasington DC area. Now we just need to "Acquire" a bigger boat ! :) Captain Duncan McGuyver Crew Of The Vigilant Baltimore Maryland Based 17th & 18th Century Naval Living History Crew Of The Vigilant The Juryrig MDRF Based Social & Renfaire Crew The Juryrig Port Tortuga A Piracy based Pennsic household B09 Block, The Highlands (Up Hill & Left) Port Tortuga
Capt Grey Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 I aquired me rank when I gave birth t'two, strappin' cabin boys. There be a boat at our port but it be fer fresh water fishin' and belongs t'the first mate. However, we all know who gives the orders in this household! Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

Captain_MacNamara Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Between the 8 members of my crew, we own 3 boats... unfortunately, only one of them be seaworthy, and even she is in drydock at the moment, being re-fitted. She floats, but at the moment is more of a longboat than a sloop... The other two are motorboats, and having no motor.... well, one doesn't get very far Still I'd rather crew aboard the Royaliste then Captain my own boat. If I had a way to get to California, I'd happily crew aboard the Royaliste meself... that is one beauty of a boat... er, ship.

capnwilliam Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 I call meself "Captain", only because I Captain an e-list, to which all of ye are most cordially invited to board! Seadogges@yahoogroups.com Capt. William :) "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Cap'n Crusty Posted May 27, 2004 Author Posted May 27, 2004 The other two are motorboats, and having no motor.... well, one doesn't get very far The motor is the only thing on my boat that DOES work! 327 Chevrolet engine.... Hauls arse! I have to rip everything out and replace the deck this year, as it's gone soft. 'tis enough to drive a scallywag to drink! ....dances on tables when drunk......
Captain_MacNamara Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 wow... that's alotta motor... how big of a boat? Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
Cap'n Crusty Posted May 27, 2004 Author Posted May 27, 2004 wow... that's alotta motor...how big of a boat? 20 ft. Bayliner cuddy. We could start the "Pirate All-Star Waterskiing Team" with such a craft! ....dances on tables when drunk......
Captain_MacNamara Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Nice... my first boat was a 15 foot tri-hull... the one I got now is a pitiful 12 foot sailboat... but she'll make a pretty little sloop when I'm done with her. we also have a junked 20 foot v-hull we're thinking of gutting and converting to sail... we be poor pirates Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
Captain Goodwench Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 'ere, wit all that wenchin' going on, when does ya have time to do any plunderin?! Uh....plunderin'? Is that not the same as wenchin'?

Desert Pyrate Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Arr.... I know I be not a Cap'n. I be but a sailor, and heck... don't e'en like the title so much. More o' a term o' respect, really. I don't hafta call the captain o' the Royaliste "cap'n", but I do, nearly every time I talk to him (at least in the email, onboard it be different). Jus' seems right somehow...
Rumba Rue Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Well I ain't no Captian and nor do I want to be! Yup it seems that there be a whole lot o' Captians around. Jest remember, on a pirate ship ye can be voted out! I'll stick to me wenchin' ways and occassional 'picker o' treasure' when the opportunity strikes!

MinRat Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 I'm no captain on land or at sea. I do work aloft on a 150 ft brig. I would rather be a common hand on a fine ship than a captain of a leaky tub. I love being on leave.
