yo! I'm a pirate! betcha didn't know that! but really, i may be only 14 years old but i have a fleet of boats. a Sunfish(of many names), Helson 20(Banana Republics), and a kayak. Plus those along with another sunfish are part of one big pirate fleet with the Curmudgeon plundering the scenic -cough- shores of Lake Springfield.
This'll be the first year that Banana Republics has been in the lake for more than 3 weeks in over 20 years. we just bought it at the end of last summer. it has only been on one trip with enough wind to have fun. But it makes the best speed of the fleet and it's fairly well equipped. Now all i need is a good crew...
My crew consists of anyone who'll come sailing with me. Leanne has PROMISED to come sailing and I'm pretty convinced i trust her. Ally is gonna be the gun crew(weapon of choice: Stream Machine watergun). Justing would make an able bodied seaman. Dalton can....do something. Probably help Ally ;] Mitch will probably slink around the boat and do about nothing. That should probably be enough to sail a 20 foot boat (that i could singlehand). On the sunfish will be my dad (or Leanne and I if he's not hogging it). On the other sunfish (this is where i tell you why we need a gun crew) is Nolan, who i hope never finds out about this blog. And on the "Mighty" Curmudgeon is where our "commodore" Hal will "command our fleet in our plundering efforts." My mom will probably also be on that boat because its the largest, and most stable, of our shorthanded fleet. The kayak doesn't have much purpose at the lake because its a big lake and a little boat but it makes a nice boat to ride in behind one of the sailboats.
that's about all i can think about and hopefully i don't get stuck on the keyboard here all the time writing novels. this was long cause i was explaining....me and what i do. but yeah. if your still reading, thanks. thats like the most attention I've gotten like anywhere.
