< This year I'll meet up wit' members o' New Providence fer a few pirate events.

V Pass on Red CAt's question.

[Silent]

^ I like to relax and watch the news when I can or a comedy

< Been working 12 days with no break.........I need a back rub

V Well since I live in WA I'll ask, do you believe in Bigfoot?

[Captain J. Savage]

^ No, an 80 year old man fessed up to doing that famous video; presenting the equipment used for footprints and the suit that was a perfect match.

< Only supernatural thing I believe in is aliens; I don't think they visited this earth, but considering that when your take an astronomy class and the textbooks states that there is a star for every grain of sand on every beach on earth... then you look at how stupid people act... you gotta think to yourself, this is not good as it gets...

V Do you believe in any supernatural stuff?

[Hester]

^Um, no, not really ... which is odd since I'm pagan. I guess I believe in "mythic metaphor"

<Time to hop in the bath

V Bath or shower?

[Red-Handed Jill]

^ Shower for getting clean, bath for relaxing.

< Jack gets back from Tampa today - yay!

V If you could spend a year sailing around on a tall ship, would you?

[Ransom]

^ I've dreamed of it, but don't know if I could last that long. I like my creature comforts too much. Maybe for a month or two?

< My husband and I subscribe to Latitudes and Attitudes, which is a mag for people who live on and cruise the world in their boats. I love to read all about their adventures.

V Could you sell house, car, furniture, etc, and cruise the world for 5-10 years, like some people do? They even take their kids and home school them onboard.

[Captain J. Savage]

^ In a heartbeat, but not the world, just the Caribbean... Very few places I'd go other than that. (France, Italy, and Bora Bora)

< The second I clean the room, the toddler and dog decide to drag out all of their toys...

V I'ma pass the previous question on to the next person.

[Silent]

^ On the ship for 5years with not going to port, no. But sailing everyday you bet your booty I would! I'm already looking to get a job on a cruise liner. I'd have to be out to sea for about 5 months at a time.

< Ok so I'm listening to Japanese music from an artist named Miyavi. Love this guys music

V Do you like Sushi? If you say no, well have you ever tried it?

[Red Cat Jenny]

^ Aye I do..but some of it would still be better grilled with a lil garlic....

< I need a slower clock..time goes so fast

V If you had more time in your day, what would you do?

[Captain J. Savage]

^ Anything but work more hours, lol.

< Picked up "Blackbeard: The real pirate of the Caribbean" today, looks like it will make a good read...

V Do you have an extensive pirate library? (Either of actual books, or pirate website as every other bookmark on your computer)

[Jacky Tar]

^ Just the beginnin's of a collection.

< The pirates o' the Golden Age of Piracy, had short but colorful lifes. Wish some o' the more colorful ones had kept journals.

V Do ye enjoy readin' 'bout historical characters, fictional historical characters or fictional characters best?

[Ransom]

^ Yes to all of the above.

< I love to read. I read three, sometimes four books at a time. If I run out of books, I read the back of cereal boxes, old magazines, newspaper ads...anything. I'm hardly ever without a book.

V Are you compulsive about anything? (Other than sex!)

[Jacky Tar]

^ Compulsive (not exactly). I have been compulsive 'bout exercise in the past; hooked on endorphines.

< Not a type A person, either. Have been known t' lose all track o' time, on more than one occasion. I can get lost doin' things.

V Do ye get lost doin' things?

[Red Cat Jenny]

^ Aye, some more n others.

< Can get happily lost in somthing if I've nothing else pressing.. (rare)

V Do you have time to..get lost?

[Jacky Tar]

^ Too many late evenin's, lately.

< Procrastination, lack o' will, or just goofin' off; I can't decide.

V When is too much of a good thing, not a good thing?

[Red Cat Jenny]

^ When it's no fun anymore

< Ahh procrastination...sometimes the tool of true desire to battle practicality

V Throw caution to the wind every great once in a while - or habitually?

[Jacky Tar]

^ I'm cautious, regrettably.

< Some things are too much fun, while other things have been no fun at all.

V Is the Pub still fun?

[Red Cat Jenny]

^Aye, it gets a bit quiet at times lately..but still fun

< agree wit you there..

V How many have ye met from the pub?

[Silent]

^ None, but I want to!

< I heard if you walk in a bar in Key West dressed like a pirate they will give you a drink

V Tells us about one of your fav. times out on the ocean

[Jacky Tar]

^ Despite wot' they say 'bout the California coast, the long shore current makes the water anythin' but clear. Get in a boat an go out a bit, an it's magical. The water is blue, an dolphins race the boat, an the islands...

< I hav never been t' Florida, imagin' it's a boater's mecca.

V Hav ye sailed inland waters?

[Red-Handed Jill]

^ Nope. I live in the San Francisco Bay area and do all my sailing there right now.

< Not my birthday today.

V Ever had a case of mistaken identity?

[Ransom]

^ On my part, it's more a case of non-functioning memory. Someone greets me like we're long lost friends, and I have no clue who they are!

< I've sailed on the western coast, but also enjoyed an afternoon on a small sailboat exploring Lake Powel, in Utah. Spent a week on a houseboat there a long time ago.

V What's your favorite, short-term get away?

[Matusalem]

^On a sailboat that sleeps more than 2, with a galley, anywhere that's away from land. Last adventure was a steamy, humid 90 F, mosquito-riddled night in Rock Hall, Md (sounds like fun don't it?)....we were all sleeping on the deck like cats.

<People ask me what I was in my past life, and I tell them that I was a one-eyed, one-legged street beggar in the slums of Calcutta. Usually puts a damper on the subject.

V what were you in your past life?
