although i missed my objective to photograph this pirate in the formigas islets, i still got a picture of him with s. miguel island in the back.
i took it quite near the shore while circum-navigating the island in the sailing boat i chartered.
we got a bit of rough seas trying to sail to formigas and s.ta maria island and my girlfriend got seasick.
so we came back and sailed the atlantic close to shore, looking for small harbours to lay anchor.
this pirate was always on board and never got seasick...

Great picture Cachalote! And what a beautiful island, looks like a great place to careen the ship and gather supplies in preparation for another round o' pillaging! ;)

yes, captain henry, s. miguel is a very beautiful island.
 :) there are 4 very piratical special places where you can careen your ship - capelas, praia dos moinhos and porto formoso in the north coast and caloura in the south.
 ^-^ you can always stay at the ponta delgada or vila franca marina for a more conventional gathering of supplies (i personally prefer the first option)

Porco Rosso hitched a ride to Niagara Falls and Cape Cod with his new buddies,
Dave and Maddy.

Here are a few pictures of his adventure.

Thanks for the pics Jimbo! I have not been to Niagara Falls since I was a kid, and need to go back now that I have young'uns of my own.

And thanks for showing us "second-generation" klickies - those kids look very much in love! :D

As some of you may know, a couple of weeks ago I was on my yearly vacation to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where real-life pirates prowled the seas hundreds of years ago. In fact, one of our favorite places to go is Ocracoke Island, which is where Blackbeard met his end.

There is a little Blackbeard museum on the island, and this year we went in. Well, much to my surprise, I found a little display that I thought you all might find interesting...

In addition, on the Outer Banks they have this art display, where there have horses and ponies painted in different styles and with different motifs. This painted pony in Duck, N.C., caught my eye, and I could not quite figure out why, until I got a lot closer... look familiar? :D
