And from another archeological dig, this time in Belize. "About 36 percent of all the artifacts at the Barcadares are made up of tobacco pipes (shown here), indicating that the pirates were heavy smokers".

"It's all for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander."

With Dunhill Navy Rolls and letters of marque and reprisal issued by Her Majesty, the crew of the Royal Yacht will blast you scallywags out of the seven seas! puf
'twer it ol' Hob castin' up infernal yachts to shiver the Frigate's timbers, much concern there be. Sendin' 'em down to his black depths seems most indubitable to me.

I'm digging that shirt.

An overpriced, local artisan shirt, a gift from my dear wife. We DID get a better deal in person than this site implies. It's a very nice shirt, well made and it glows in the dark!

The Navetta 33 looks pretty comfy..... Right about 100', and beamy.

"MARIA THERESA is a 33m luxury yacht, built by Custom Line and delivered in 2019. Her top speed is 15.0kn and she boasts a maximum cruising range of 1850.0nm at 10.0kn with power coming from two 1400.0hp MAN V12-1400 diesel engines. She can accommodate up to 10 people with 6 crew members waiting on their every need."

The Miami Herald humor writer Dave Barry and a group of his friends came up with this Talk Like A Pirate Day, and it took hold. Grim as it may sound, my late wife departed from the world on Sept. 19, the appointed day. Rather than feeling unsettled by this, I have always known she would have found it hugely amusing. She had one of the quickest most incisive wits I've ever experienced. After about ten years I remarried another wonderful and amazing woman with her own array of talents, among them buying pipe and tobacco gifts for me. I take no credit: the Goodly Power just assigned me incredible women and "told me" to do my best.
