The bow eased away from the Friday Harbor dock as I uncleated the stern line and climbed aboard to sheet in the jib flogging to port. A southwesterly breeze filled the mainsail as we bore away toward the lee of […]

It was long ago when I first clapped eyes on McWhirr. I had a strange sense I’d seen him long before in a drive-in movie somewhere. He had this jet black hair with a white streak running across it like he’d […] -

The first scent of Fall was carried on the blustery wind as Old Hand rolled in the waves built in the long fetch up San Juan Channel.
“The wind seems to be piping up out of the Southeast,” observed the first […] -

“Ready about. We’ll have to tack again to make our offing.”
McWhirr grasps a weather shroud and his gaunt profile is etched against the red sky. Indeed, the wind backing to northward threatens to set us on Skiff […] -

Craig Spencer commented on the blog post The burning question | Are pirate flags in good taste? 1 year, 2 months ago
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Yes, I realize pirate flags predated Disney. But there is such a powerful tendency by mass media to co-opt images that were once very powerful in freedom’s struggles.

As a lad, I was enthralled by the Crimson Pirate. I thought Burt Lancaster in striped tights and poofy doo swinging in the rigging to be the epitome of cool bravado. But now I think it time to retire this worn out ensign of faux rebellion that has been shot full of holes by the [...]
