Aarrr! Welcome aboard, me beauties. Any mate of Miss Donna is a mate of this here ol' bucket. There's a tankard of me finest grog for ye, so drink hearty.
It be nigh on twenty grand glorious years we be cruisin' this here water, though it once was the territory of ol'
Jose Gaspar.
Any ship can drop anchor now since he lost all his teeth and got fat and happy on cigars and sangria.
Avast, me ship is me pride and joy so landlubbers can linger awhile and listen to the cabin boy play beauteous melodies on th' hornpipe. 
The deck be swabbed and ready for company, but stay away from that scallywag of a bosun's mate.....he'll rob ye blind.
I see ye left yer cutlass behind so have a peek at me booty that was captured from yonder lagoon.
Shiver me timbers! Yonder caravelle is gaining on us and we'll have to teach them lily-livered bilge rats a lesson.
Raise the Jolly Roger an' stow the pieces of eight!
The scallywags won't touch a single doubloon of this here grand fine ship. Ye sprogs get ready fer some fierce swashbucklin' on the open seas....man the guns and we'll be keelhauling the scurvy dogs!
Thanks to Talk Like A Pirate Day for the language lesson.

Such a great and imaginative tale, not to mention all of your very pirately eye candy to dance around your words. Such a great adventure for this fun soiree. Karen
Lots of Scalleywags over at Donna's drinking far too much rum ... yo ho ho and a bottle of rum....
I'll take a sip o' that Sangria, but pass on the cigar; don't cotton to going the fate o'ol' Jose!

Did someone say Sangria?!?! I just love that image of the lady above. I have given that look many a time! Cabin boy needs to step it up and clean the deck before the late night revelers arrive:)
Happy Soiree!
