Pirates in the tree

(picture used without permision)

Just spent the evening watching Pirates of the Carribean: Deadman's Chest. It's amazing what a movie like that can do for the imagination. The longing for the open sea, wind in the sails, the crashing of the waves.

I've just been told that my Great, Great Grandfather (mothers side) who was a Clippership Captain, was also a Rum Runner. Interesting to have a pirate in the family tree. Oddly enough the Paternal Great Great Grandfather was a member of the first RCMP sea unit to be huning down these scallywags. Arrrrr!!!!
