As I've grown - dare I say it - older, I had hopes of indulging my dreams of being a sailor.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that pirates did wear eye patches and have peg legs and have brightly colored beads. I never knew what the beads were for. They really were for frightening and terrifying their prey.
We'd love to do Pirates for the 21st century. People have also asked about Colonization, and a few others.
We also own a little boat and I'm like a kid with it. I take off early in the morning, fishing rod in tow, and just drift about the ocean all day.
It's better to swim in the sea below Than to swing in the air and feed the crow, Says jolly Ned Teach of Bristol.
Being out there in the ocean, God's creation, it's like a gift He has given us to enjoy.
Up anchor! Up anchor! Set sail and away! The ventures of dreamland Are thine for a day.
As a child, I always wanted to live on a boat.
Yachting may call to mind champagne flutes and seersucker, but danger and risk have always been a part of the America's Cup.

It's the board I had a problem with. I could totally handle being in the water and stuff. I came here to do my own stunts. Water! Ocean! Action! Big waves! That water, that water has tamed me. You can feel that the world is connected to it.
Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale... from hell's heart I stab at thee.
You are nipping in the bud fancies which I let blossom. The shore is safer, but I love to buffet the sea - I can count the bitter wrecks here in these pleasant waters, and hear the murmuring winds, but oh, I love the danger!
I can stay on my boat for a few weeks if I have a guitar and a girl and a Bob Marley CD. After that, I've got to move around.
