Captain Goodwench Posted May 26, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Iron Faith Cutler Posted May 26, 2004 Share 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!

Captain_MacNamara Posted May 26, 2004 Share 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.

Captain_MacNamara Posted May 27, 2004 Share 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.

Desert Pyrate Posted May 27, 2004 Share 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...

MinRat Posted May 28, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
