Every now and then it's a pirates duty to keep tabs on one's neighbours in case there is potential plunder to be had. No one is immune from this so an advance party from the PD pirate contingent are on a six ship rum raid into Peel harbour in advance of festivities to claim dibs on available resourses and booty.
Lured by false promises of fresh paint and vinyls with funboxes galore they found a sad old sunseeker reeking like a dockside hooker's boudoir.

Of all the derelect boats in the car park this was the saddest

Nonetheless rich pickings in midnight engine spares and funboxes had been touted on the internet and warranted a closer inspection

mmmm No DPE drives, but a handy getaway cart

jimmy the door and we're faced with a broken bog. Obviously a batchelor.

The stink worsens

No funboxes anywhere! Not even a tinny! And an inspection of the ER showed two tatty engines with fresh paint on. Nothing worth lifting there. However the source of the stink was found

tissues and handcream bloody everywhere!!

They can help sand the rest of above waterline antifoul off too. I’ve done one corner and got fed up being back sanding again ??
 
shame on you mr Bruce, lies and IP violations galore!
:rolleyes:

btw, are these beaching legs? you keeping them? don't quite look awful but doesn't really match the boat do they?

He’s not been onboard ?

There is no shame in preserving time old traditions Mr Vas. Wot then Southern softies get up to is their peculiar penchant and deviancy. Us in the Welsh Med have always been quick to fleece prey items. Particularly if they are English. :giggle:

??? Who’s over then?

Mr Steve Stitchup the Grasser. The mate who always sends the Rozzers after me for local by-law nav violations. Feel free to put him to work for his failure to garner any booty whatsoever. You'll find him and crew on this raft up and another two nearby avoiding any harbour dues. Look for the chunky one. He's your culprit

Alternatively leave a trail of half finished tinnies from their boat to yours. That should prove irresistable to the rag and stick heathen

Half the pirate squadron are now raiding the Irish. Promises of free beer in a new city, The lazy laggards are chilling out within a stagger to the Peveril.
Staying till weekend so come and say hello. Beware we havestolen some defacated blue ensigns with a pretty ostrich feathets and a royal crown.
All the gear no idea!
Steve and Beverley

Bruce .I think dobbing you and Seacock into the Rozzers was still the best wind up but this is a close No2

Talking about no2s the admirable says we have a leak on our ensuite.

I reckon googler is the man to fix it.

PS. don't forget I'm a bloody foreigner!

Mr Googler is an Isle of Wight boy on the lamb. That makes him English and part of the Southern fraternity of boaters. You know the type. Marina hoppers on day trips for lunch at all inclusive boat parks and gated ghettoes. Pirate dodgers the lot!

You don’t need beaching legs in the IOM you need a trailer.
 
Mr Steve ... Look for the chunky one.
I resemble that comment? .
Just welcomed another Pirate.
Clive just set a record for tying up and downing a pint. Bow line stern line two springs perfectly set and a 30m sprint to the Peveril.
Less than 7 minutes! Not bad for a 75 year old.
Oh he forgot his wallet. It isn't an old age thing.?
