the Royaliste Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 Aye, I'm a wonderin', how many among ya use their sealegs, or be ye a landlubber?
Dorian Lasseter Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 Aye Ladd.... Would ye believe me if'n I says, Both? I grew up on the rivers in Pgh, PA... spending more hours in a boat, canoe, or th' water itself than out up until me 20's... Now, th' occasional trip these days is all I get to use my sea legs....

the Royaliste Posted July 14, 2003 Author Posted July 14, 2003 I put this one as a kinda pyrate poll, if you will. I've hunted out several groups to liven up the deck this summer, and after quite a bit o' sea miles, it's brought me ta question the crews, as an active imagination hasn't held a candle to a quick hand on a belaying pin. Sorta testin' the waters, so it be
Dorian Lasseter Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 Aye, Actual ship handling does far better than imagination, as you say... Quite a fine Vessel ya have there... I'm not rememberin' does she have any cannon, and if so what poundage? Wish I'da known yer was in the Great Lakes just a few years back.... I usta make th' trip to Ft. Niagra, every 4th of july weekend fer the F&I reenactment... go shoot some redcoats... (hey, I be a bloody halfbreed, shoots who pays me least) Truly, D.

PirateMunkee Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 Hmmmm. Since I live a block from the beach and bodyboarding is my life and I love deep sea fishing whenever I can I would have to say land lubber-YEAH RIGHT SEADAWG ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
the Royaliste Posted July 15, 2003 Author Posted July 15, 2003 Aye Cap'n Lassiter, she's a fine vessel sure enough. She's a Great Lakes vet alrighty, couple o' three wars, alla the time killin' lobsterbacks. Before she left Canada, she was a six gun, four swivel, gunboat. That'd be 10 in all.Due to 9/11, all but two were confiscated at the border, yep, damn redcoats! I'm waiting delivery on three new carronades, any day now,as the carriages are done and waitin. A group of reenactors may anny up one, my first mate's springing for one in August, so,(whew!) I'll be sportin' six 3/4 six pound carronades(gunnades to be correct as there are no rings on the cascabels, correct for the period) and a couple o' 2 pound swivels). Some snitches have already leaked this information, but I'm tryin' to keep the element of suprise for the West Coast ships I encounter. A hellofalotta powder on deck nowadays!! the Royaliste....gettin' even in the 18th century
Dorian Lasseter Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 Aye Royaliste, Bloody redcoats indeed, takin' a ships guns... (what in blaizes do 9/11 hafta do wi' BP cannons?!?!?!) Aaarrgghhhh!!! 6 pounder carronades!!!! Splended new weaponry!!! That'll be a fine broadside!!! Would love ta be there fer th' first one.... Quite a few sets o' ringin' ears.... Truly, D.

Dorian Lasseter Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 Why is it tha' most govrnments don't ha' th' brains god gave geese.... I know I won't get a real answer ta tha' one.... I'll be bettin' yer fine caoono are in someones backyard or on their deck or somat thing... And they call -US- Bloody Pyrates!!! All I want is one swivel cannon... for now... Truly, D.

AliasGraceO'Malley Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Hey PirateMonkee, I live 5 houses from the beach on exactly the opposite coast from you, in southern New Jersey. For two years I lived in Chicago and hated being away from the sand. Salt water is in my blood. So a seafarer be I.
Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Alas, if I could get me sea legs I WOULD!! The best I can do now is cross the bridges in Portland and fly the Jolly Roger from my car antenna! I never get seasick when I am on a boat, and I used to take the ferry to Alcatraz back in the day! I wish I lived a little closer to the coast, I could show those lubbers a thing or two! I have far more grace on a boat than on land... does that make me a SeaDog? Or just a Sea puppy? "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!"
Capt. Flint Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Seadog here mate... I grew up on the water and have been drawn to it my whole life. I know fair Katey also played on the beach a lot growing up in Cal. and all. Even starting my little one right. She is only three and already loves the sea. She cannot get enough of being on a boat and loves to fish and swim....... The Capt.
Pirate Lass Suliel Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 If it could be so, my life would be sailing. As it is, I'm rather stuck on land most of the time, but I sail smaller stuff. Learned on a byte and capris, but now I'm looking for something bigger to be crew on during the summers. If anyone has any suggestions of where to look in the Pacific Northwest for something of the sort, I'd be real grateful! Haven't been on the water for far too long, which is causing madness in me, or at least more madness than usual. Am having to get by with listening to sea chanteys and writing for now...but whether or not I'm on the water, I got the sea in me through and through. Just need to get out on the water more!
Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Thank ye mightily Royaliste!! I feel so much better! We took the little ones out to the beach over Father's Day, and I have never seen two little mermaids take to the water the way they did!! My littlest one nearly got taken by the undertow, but her Da had such a strong grip on her little hands, she never once looked afraid! I think it's in us all!!! "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!"
Rumba Rue Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Ok, I'm really and landlubber (ducking everyone throwing cannonballs at me) as I'd rather be riding a horse. Unfortunatly I don't have one anymore (actually that was in another lifetime in a galaxy far, far away), well I don't have ship either, so I guess all I can do is dream about it. ' But hey I'm a great 'wannabe'!!! RumbaRue **I'd rather be training cabin boys**
MadMaryFlint Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Ay, I be a landlubber, as well. But just b/c I only ridden a speed boat an' a ferry! I'd like to give bein' on a real ship a try...
capnwilliam Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Aye, I'm forced to admit that me sailin' goes on mainly in what passes fer me mind! We did take a Carnival cruise once but that surely doesn't count. First Mate Jan has an 8 foot nutshell pram that she helped build, docked at her father's place on a lake in Guntersville, AL. We occasionally take the wee vessel out, but are terrible sailors! Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Capt Scarlett Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 I be mostly landlubber too. I'm envious of anyone who lives near the ocean or has access to some sort of sailing vessel. Oh sure, Arizona has an ocean...of dirt! Plenty of that around here. The only vessels I've been on are charter fishing boats and my favorite memory, my grandfather's boat in Florida. Lots of good memories of crabbing on my grandfather's boat. Fair winds and calm seas, Capt. Scarlett Hawkins Captain of the Lusty Lady
Mad Woman Cheryl Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 I be Seadog. Grandparents had a shore place when I was younger. Couldn't keep me out-o the water. Dated a guy for 5 years that had a boat and loved it. Never got seasick. Even went on the Enterprise (Big E) a couple-o years ago for Friends and Family Day. Didn't have to take the pills. Twas a great day. Mad Woman Cheryl By Odin's mighty spear, I hereby snap and go berzerk!!!"
the Royaliste Posted July 23, 2003 Author Posted July 23, 2003 Aye, Scarlett, I'm knowin' what ya mean! I had to go to Apache Junction for six months to assist rebuilding the turbines in the damn. Good people, but tooooo much sand and no beach RRRRRRRRR
Pirate Lass Suliel Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 The fact that there were a bunch of people around, and that I generally try to be a mostly law-abiding citizen in my usual life were the only things keeping me from boarding and stealing a nice 20-something foot boat today. Alas. Oh well.
Capt Scarlett Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 The fact that there were a bunch of people around, and that I generally try to be a mostly law-abiding citizen in my usual life were the only things keeping me from boarding and stealing a nice 20-something foot boat today. Alas. Oh well. I have the same urge everytime I encounter a tall ship ( not often enough). Unfortunately, I can never get my friends to go along with my plans of "borrowing" the ship for a quick trip to the Carribean. Heck, I even get the urge to jump ship during the raid scene on the Pirates of the Carribean ride! I'm sure you all are with me on this. Fair winds and calm seas, Capt. Scarlett Hawkins Captain of the Lusty Lady
Pirate Lass Suliel Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 I've never been on the pirates ride, but I just got so...twitchy...around the Center for Wooden Boats on July 4th...soooo many pretty boats! And wooden tall ships at that! I am so in love with the Adventuress...then the only thing stopping me was the people and the lack of a full crew...heh...
