Piratical Shearwater...

[khiemtran]

Meanwhile, back on Rose Bay, a ragtag band of pirates are up to no good...



They are believed to be taking orders from a mysterious Pirate Captain...



Note that order-taking was ever a pirate strong point...



The white Pacer dinghies are having a training race. Little do they know what's in store for them.



The high-speed ferries, on the other hand, might just be left alone...



Another view of a ferry. This one was giving us... I mean the pirates, a wide berth. Obviously they've heard of their fearsome reputation.



Meanwhile, security forces are desperate to track down the threat...



But all they can find are innocent pleasure craft...



A seaplane flying in fresh reinforcements.



Running (heading downwind) with the sails "goosed" (spread like goose-wings on each side of the mast) in pursuit of a Pacer.



The final sighting of the pirates returning to their secret hideout. Using oars is possibly cheating, but you can never trust a pirate to play fair...

The treacherous waters of Rose Bay, home of the notorious scarlet pirate crew.

I love that, in true pirate tradition, your band favors bright colors ^_^

Our Red Sails strike fear into the heart of every sailor. Unfortunately, our Slow Speed also brings mockery as our victims skip effortlessly away....

sails makes me think of snails, for some reason...

Beware the slow-moving assassin. You may think, as you always do, you have plenty of time, but one day you'll turn around and that snail will waiting to strike...
