Hoisting the flag for the new year...


The "Jolly Roger" above flew on Christopher Condents various ships...An incredible seaman and one of the few pirates who managed to live through the age of piracy and live to a comfortable old age.

I often bemoan the fact that piracy is not really dead here in the Caribbean as it has just migrated over to the marine trades where bad, hamfisted and substandard work goes for $75 an hour...

Of course both Condent and the riggers who are more likely to screw up your rig than fix it are truly Bush league in comparison to the frolic and fun our government and various industries get into. Rank amateurs in fact.

It really does take a certain talent and a really lame fucked up administration to let stuff like this happen but I can't say I'm surprised where all that bailout money (spelled YOUR tax Dollars) is going...

Happy New year to all and if anyone want to know how I plan to spend the next few days I'll be drinking rum, listening to seriously loud music and sewing up an ensign with a Moose kicking some serious ass!
