Yep you guessed it this Has something to do with the colorfull Captian Brown. Some of the things that he did for his school kids, and some of the experiances that  Captian, and Gomer have been through over the years.


The whole RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR thing started really from the time I met Mr. Brown, in 92. He had a small camp set up in the gravil pit at our old site in Smithfield Me. I was a Pilgrim at the time, and the first words out of his mouth were RRRRRRR I be Captian Brown, would ya like the throw the hawk for a buck! I knew this Guy was Different! I just didn't know how much! We became friends that day, and have had a blast whenever we get together. The whole RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR thing really got a lift at the 98 Northeastern Rendezvous. Thats it in the Gallery Room. One day as I was thinkin up stuff to do at the vous, I came upon a wooded 35' boat for free! I thought What a PiRat Boat it would make. I called the Captian, and told him of my plan and he was very excited, and when he saw it I knew then, that I had him hooked!  So from then on she was known as The Plunderer!  She was part of a pirat theme at the vous, complete with, pirat camp, Pirat ship, and best of all the Pirat Tavern Called The Black Spot. It was right on the bank of the river, and quite a hit with the camp in the eve's. Now comes the RRRRRRRRRRRRR thing. The Captian and I spent the better part af a long nite leaning aginst each other and you guessed it saying RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR alot.Phrases like who has any PowdaRRRRRRRRRRR left, or we are Rendezvous. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS, or who are all the FartaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS. It went on and on and on and on and on. Eva since then, when eva The Pirat, and I say RRRRRRRRRRRRR we smile and think back to those Days.

Shining Times Captian

  The Captian was a teacher at Frankfort Elementary for 30+ years.He would take some of his class, and there parents out on primitive escursions form time to time. The pic. on the left is one of those to his log camp on an Island across from our Vous site in Canton.

 


This is Captian Brown, and Tony, and the troops.

In front of his humble abode in the swamp.

  She was a Fine Vessel Capt. and served us well. .

Above is a pic. of The Plundurer, that we had at the 98 Northeastern. We had to get rid of the Old Girl after the Vous , and thought that a firey exit was fitting for such a fine vessel . We tried to light her with flaming arrows, dipped in moonshine, but they kept going out. Finally someone threw  a flaming, ati-latle in the hold ,and in 45 min she was gone!!!

She made one hell of a fire!

Thank's Capt. Brown for being her Captian!!!

  Burnin through the keel!

 


Just one more pic of the old Girl....

I have a few of her deck, and a broadside shot, that I will put up next month. It was a lot of work, taking a modern boat, and making it into a real pirate ship. In the end it was well worth it... We did it in 98 and people are still talking about it.
