Hurricane season, only two more months to go... :(

Yours, &c.

Try these for starters- "A General History of the Pyrates" edited by Manuel Schonhorn, "Captured by Pirates" by John Richard Stephens, and "The Buccaneers of America" by Alexander Exquemelin.

No hurricanes right now, but no sunshine either. BB

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."

Aye Mates, just heard a member of the Arizona Yacht Club died in Hurricane Wilma. He decided to ride it out on his new 34 ft sailboat in the intercoastal waterway of Florida. He had 3 lines anchored out and all broke pushing the boat into the seawall. His brother managed to survive on another boat. His wife was here in Arizona.

Another fine sailor lost to Davey Jones' locker. ;)

That's sad when ya hear of something like this. People should really take these things more seriously. I have lived in Fla. all my life all across the Panhandle and these Hurricanes show no mercy.

I have ridden 'em out at times but never on a boat. The storm surge can get so high you never know what will happen.

Anyway, the next 4 to 5 seasons should produce some might strong 'Canes that supposely will be record breakers. I be evacuatin'!
