Well, I don't remember exactly. It was sometime after my "Nearly lost at sea in a chenoe" episode. To occasion the "Shipwreck" Name was formed and lure of pyracy of the high seas became a more prominant fixture in my mind. There soon after a yahoo search for pirates and pirate stuff found me discovering this lovely pub.

Google, to Bilge Monkey, to the Pub. Watched ya all for about a month, to gets the lay o the land, saw ya were scallywags to a man/woman, and figured it'd be a safe place to drop anchor. First and only site I've joined.

and buccaneers and buried gold...

I went to Lee Island Pirate Days and was hooked. Did a search that took me to NQG, and thence to here.

It all started when I was a wee lad . . .

. . . and after countless google searches with every combination of the word Pirate. this is where I frequently ended up.

(Slow learner here) it took me a few landings to actually figure out what this site was and how it worked.

Tis hard for m' tae remember exactly how I found this hole in the wall ... seems I was searching the web and NQG so more than likely I came here via NQG as I knew of it before I knew of this here pub.

Someone mentioned it either at a Pirate Brethren event or on the Pirate Brethren Yahoo group. I don't remember in what context or who mentioned it, but I came over to answer someone's question about clothing and then last summer, Stinky Tudor asked me to be a moderator and then I just had to stay! <_<

I was searching the web for fighting styles. Namely information on the Florentine fighting style. I don't remember exactly which place I was in that led me here. I saw the front page of this site, it looked interesting, but I didn't have time to really look it over then so I added to my favorites so I could give it a look over later.

A day Later I came back to this site and started to check it out. It had the right mix of fun and information on a subject I have always had an interest in....Pirates.

So here I be.
