Cap’n stace

Ok, so I am finally starting my A School and will be (hopefully) leaving Ecity NC at the end of November. I’m already getting restless and cant wait to find out where i’ll be living next. The thing is I think I want to purchase an Airstream camper to live in, it’s either that or a house boat but dad says they don’t resell well. Anybody ever tried living in an airstream? McDreamy does it on Grey’s so it can’t be all that bad! I’d probably have to pay a lot fee or something but then I’d pocket the rest of my Housing allowance (I mean i’d put it in savings!!!) Any theories on how great this idea is??? Or horror stories about spending more than a few weeks in a camper? The more I think about it the more appealing it seems, like a pirate driving a trailer instead of a ship!

Pirates of the Caribbean movies have become so popular. I have always been interested in the actual lives of pirates. There is a book I want to read called The Republic of Pirates. Amazon describes the book as being the true and surprising story of the Caribbean pirates and the man who brought them down.  I bought the book before I had heard anything about it at the airport in Norfolk on my way home for my bro’s graduation.  I was surprised to see it on a must read list while lying on the beach at Kill Devil Hills reading a magazine.

While mom and dad were here we went to The Outerbanks. The pirate theme was evident everywhere. Blackbeard frequented the coast of North Carolina. The Outerbanks was a favorite place for pirates. You should see the maps of all the shipwrecks. Pirates would use lanterns to look like ships afloat and other ships would run aground and the pirates would pilage the wreck. This was before lighthouse signals were widely used.
