Arrrr, tis not to early to start plannin fer "Talk Like A Pirate Day". Thisen year, ta ern yer Pirate name, ye will haft to pass er written exam....err, yeah, ok multiple choice in honor of our fellow Ol'e Salty (dbrk). Her aren two examples ye can test yer fortitude and general Piratin learnin: What be the Cap'n BBDave instructin here?
1.) "Lift the skin up, and put into the bunt the slack of the clews (not too taut), the leech and foot-rope, and body of the sail; being careful not to let it get forward under or hang down abaft. Then haul your bunt well up on the yard, smoothing the skin and bringing it down well abaft, and make fast the bunt gasket round the mast, and the jigger, if there be one, to the tie. "
A.) General Wenchin activites.
B.) Barkin Sail geometrics.
C.) Instruktin Dirty Jack Ratchem (Beungood) how to keep his britches up.
What be Sir Henry (aka: Long yard-arm by lan lubbin wenches) reffering too?:
2.) If the ship go before the wind, or as they term it, betwixt two sheets, then he who conds uses these terms to him at the helm: larboard, the helm amidships... If the ship go by a wind, or a quarter winds, they say aloof, or keep your loof, or fall not off, wear no more, keep her to, touch the wind, have a care of the lee-latch. all these do imply the same in a manner, are to bid him at the helm to keep her near the wind.
--former pirate Sir Henry Mainwaring (see Harland (1984) p.177)
A.) Burying his "treasure".
B.) Cleaning sheets afta sleeping it off within a bunch of hogs.
D.) Barkin sail geometrics.
Iffen yer feeling shifty, ya may consult the --The Seaman's Manual (1844), for help (ifen your a land lubber).
