# just get yourself a ship
and you will find that all your mates are suddenly pirates.

# Oh good idea!
The next time I'm out shopping I'll pick m'self up a nice barque!

You know, pirates are not actually very nice people. Captain Wow excluded of course.

# all the pirates I know
from the maritime festivals are ace people. especially when we end up pissed.


(P.S. a barque would be a ridiculous idea for a pirate ship, you want a nice fast and manoeuvrable brigantine like above ;))

# arrrrgh
don't kill the albatross!

As for being a mariner yes. I have been since I was born.
I've sailed in the smallest dinghies up to being on board a British nuclear fuels Ltd. nuclear waste carrier and laughing my cock off when we ran her aground in the Manchester ship canal.

what is the SCA by the way?

# SCA = The Society for Creative Anachronisms.
Bascially it's a world-wide group of folk who get together and enjoy the middle ages as best they can from a modern perspective. There's a scholarly side for many folk who enjoy doing crafts using only tools available in various periods and there's the better known dress-up-and-hit-people-with-sticks side. There's also a lot of feasting, drinking, dancing and courting which can be an awful lot of fun.
