I have been so fortunate to have friends that I call." Friends ", friends. Once or twice I made an
error in judgement and sailed on a boat that might not have been with a balanced crew! Some survived,
as people, some may not have survived as friends. Does it matter? If it does? Than, some might be called,,
" acquaintances"! Others might be called," Pirates"! Few remain friends.
Pirates are interesting in that they want to take something that isn't their's. In reality, what defines a pirate is that a country or idea they fought for have been about politics and then been disalighned. What was a patriot then? Why is he not a pirate now? Is it because of governmental influence or political alliance. So who is my friend today? Whom will be my friend tomarrow? Am I a pirate that looks at forty? Yes, I am a pirate.
I am a thief of hearts. I love truth, no lies. I love people and spelling, and talking, sharing and telling
the honesty of everything I have read, for one reason. What is the value of my life? Without truth in it,
I am dead. I have travelled so far to bring joy and happiness into life itself! How much fun have I been allowed to share in a form of honesty to the best of my abillity? I will not stop for to do so is death.
Many stories I may rely upon. At times I wish they were gone! But now I know they can't go- until
I share them all with you, you know!
Many tales I can embrace with one- for a moments space! Just when you thought you had seen it alll?
Another tale slides in so small, about a short person with no reach,
a surfer guy on another beach that looked all the same!
How much fun did I have with him, who never got to surf again?
He died you see friendlesslee, no friend he saw in his night! As he ran so far from sight!
He! Desperately looking for a light, shining so bright, guarding him from his plight, of the rocks
waiting for him to ground and die on that distant shore! The lonelyness in his heart finely to apply! What had waiting all along There had been?
Him still waiting for a friend!
Sad this tale may truly be, but kind sir another round for you and me? A pirates tale.with a glass of grog. helps to clear San Francisco's fog.
Surfing Kauai defined me! Sailing the South Seas measured me. Commercial fishing fed me. The U. S. Merchant Marine showed me! Diving everywhere I have traveled allowed me to become something more and yet something less than the bird pile/fish feeding frenzy I have witnessed. What is above meets what is below, a paradox! No-balance.
About Me
- Robbin
- Sacramento, California, United States
- so salty pieces of coral from surfing Hawaii in the 60's and 70's getting reef pounded living in my body fall through my skin from time to time!
sailing to Oahu
Jimi Hendrix was playing on Oahu. I had never sailed. Surfed Mexico, California, Hawaii! Aw, how hard could it be to sail 90-110 miles from Kauai to Oahu? Piece of cake, right? Remember it was the 60's! This is so bad. We thought we were looking at Kaiena Point,Ohau, knowing we weren't going to make the concert! But at least we were in site of Oahu-wrong! Coy, who had never sailed before, me,who had never sailed before, jeff and Abbott etc. We were looking at the sleeping giant on Kauai! We had done three-sixty's in the night! We sailed on the only tri-marran I've ever sailed on ( except later ) in my life, missed the concert! It was at the Waikiki Shell Ampitheater ( Moon eclipsed . We finally made Nawilwili Harbor! The Skipper tried to give us his boat saying, " It's trying to kill me"! We watched him go stark raving mad not even realising that had we got caught in the channel current we were on our way to Japan! Remember it was the 60's and we were going to see Hendrix. I left out some of the good stuff but I will make up for it later!

Arrh, mateys, the rum has me now
I have been blessed, to have had the oppurtnity to sail, not all; but a small portion of the largest ocean of this world! The Pacific Ocean is vast and those who sail on that water are above what is below! You think I joke!? I know what I am speaking of and I also have the knowledge of what I am speaking against! People of this world have inheirant qualities that define the essence of their very being. We trade, we laugh, we enjoy each others individuallity! Who says what is good or right? Simple Government. It's funny to me when one day you are a freedom fighter and the next day you become a pirate! Overnight. Yea. You think right now, that this asshole doesn't have a leg to stand on. Historically I'll kick your ass! But really what I don't want to do is that-but fuck with me and I will destroy you. See-I am a pirate. It's a thought process. I sailed not the seven seas but the world outside of a complacency. I wanted to sea if the ocean really covered as much space as the flat round ball on my wall matched my imagination! A pirate is anybeing. To " question", to "Go against the Flow", to " Think Outside the Box". To " Dream".!!! When a country declares " WAR" on another country pirates are born! Peace is determinined by governments? I think not!!! All historical pirates only became pirates when the particular governments came into an equation of peace. So, overnight without a cellphone peace between territoral governments had entered into a treaty or agreement that I, a sailor, citizen, with God country at heart must honor. To a degree, I might add. Secretly, under the table, continually, take ships from France and Spain and their treasures but if caught England did not condon this extreme act of piracy. So what has changed? Nothing. Why should it? It works. What I despize are the lies! Graft, payola! Whoop the fucking doo, Simoncy allows a catholic to pay for his way to heaven. Ask " the pope" he'll tell you all about Peter and how he's" The Rock"! I really have no fondness for certain parts of the history of man. What Catholics are not honing up to about " The Inquisition", 400 years with another 100 from Spain is unacceptable. Who are or were the pirates? Thief of hearts! What are " The Dark Ages"? Check your country out now! Welcome to piracy of the lowest order. Remember King George, the turd, sorry the third! Boston ( not my favorite place ) tea party, taxation without representation? Welcome to today! Who said, "History can not repeat itself" ? Not me. Welcome to my world fellow PIRATE!!! arrh matey!!!
