First off. People on here are bat shit crazy.

As the title says. I'm a retired pirate. In other words I drove/ crewed big bloody yatchs in the 70,80 & 90s
Myself and Scottish nutcase wife just wanna say.. most people on this site are kinda kool and yes I've been a tad sarcastic at times but hey. Anyway just wanna say at my age . Good to hear, good to be anywhere..
Pps. Stole that last line from KR

The way you wrote this post also comes across as bat shit crazy 🤪. But I agree with you some people have weird thinking. But also there are some people who are suffering and need some advice so it can be positive as well.

.

You "drove" yachts? Most people sail theirs!...yes...I am bat shit crazy.

Nurse! Op’s out of bed again! Think the meds are wearing off.

Three questions...

• What happened to your parrot when you retired?

• Can I have some of your doubloons?

• Is scurvy a real issue, or the sea-folk equivalent of me growing up thinking that avoiding quicksand would be a major part of my life?

Ahoy. I'm a retired pirate too.

But,

You sailed a yacht.

You did not drive a yatch.

As you were.

One eye, or two?

Arrrrrr! Blow me down, that be a mighty interesting tale, ye barnacle-brained scallywag! But I be struggling to grasp what point ye be tryin to make! Ye drunk on rum or just lost at sea? Tell me true, when was the last time ye set foot on a deck that weren’t imaginary?

Wibble.

Failed at being a pirate due to being landlocked. Does using the Mersey ferry when I visit family country? Oh, and no parrot as the cat would eat it.

We sailed yatchs with sails. In fact my first crossing across the pond was a 105ft schooner
When you have large MY you drive them mate when you're the captain
You obviously weren't in the business
As for my parrot 🦜. Died of rum Poisoning

You didn't safeguard your parrot very well by not locking the rum away where they couldn't access it. Call yourself a pirate? (From no pirating lived experience person who has no clue about the realities of life on the ocean wave)

Huh! Call yourself a sailor @06230villefrancesurmer !

I was a deckhand, man and boy, on the Woolwich Free Ferry!

@Highlighta I hope this settles it? 🤓
