Ahar there mateys, first off I’ll be saying a hearty toast to me mate [livejournal.com profile] dragonwhishes, who be celebrating that she's a year closer to being a fine wench of marriageable age. One more year boys, and ye can start asking about the dowry. I've drawn ye a fine cartoon in celebration so don't be saying I never gave ye nothing. The rest o' ye can see but let me be saying this first: there be some tales, told down in the bunks when the sea is flat and strange and men get the shiver in their bones, some tales so weird and wild ye'd best not be hearing 'em in the proper light of a normal day, or in the words of ye modernfolk, 'don't ask'. Iff'n ye can't stand the wond'ring, ye'll 'ave to ask the birthday girl for the story. Happy birthday me girl, and I hopes ye be getting lots of loot.

Me boat still be in drydock for repairs, and a pretty penny it be costing indeed. Another two-hundred pieces and I could be having me a new boat, but this one's been a friend to us for many a long year. I'll be glad when we can break the bottle and put it back to the asphalt sea. I won't be resting easy until I'm behind the wheel of it again.

Should any landlubbers be coming across these words and be left scratching their 'eads, I pity 'em for not knowing what today is.

Yar, that were a stinky scarf, burr aye. Oi've knowed crusty ol' seamen, an now oi've seen their extract roun' a cap'n's neck, arr. But it were nought t' the stench o' losin' yer vessel to the drydocks for an unseemly toim. That were a rum go, by the pow'rs.

Cap'n Scarlet most offen wears the scarf roun' the 'ead, and it be enough to turn the legs of good men to water. Many a sailor's fallen to the disembowling cutlass of Cap'n Scarlet whilst trying to overcome the smell.
Don't be telling no one how I plans to test out the keel when I get me boat back. Repair bills are for them that plays it straight and true.

Yaaar, that be a lovely work 'o art, Cap'ain!

I pity ye for the boat. But she is a good 'un, so I wager she'll be workin' fine and rolling steady soon enough.
