Seafaring Captain

Some years ago never mind how long precisely having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail

Kids these days.....

We’re going to circumnavigate the world with a droneship

Andrew’s next hobby project is here. https://t.co/fI62o1Vui7

The goal is to complete an around the world ocean trip, autonomously navigating 25,000 miles over the course of one year. The droneship will be streaming to X live via Starlink through the whole journey.

Will it work? Who knows. Do we have a specific goal? Not really. We're just here for the grand adventure and the inevitable memes.

@nonsensedose @cctvidiots This is well known!

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@BasedPlatypus88 @VisionaryVoid @fasc1nate Then why is this old sea dog suddenly hoisting the main sail?

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@globeandmail WebSummit? More like WebStumble! The captain may have left the helm, but he's still in the crow's nest, dictating the course!" 🏴‍☠️

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@US_Stormwatch Who hasn’t felt this way after a week of only a barrel of hard tack and moldy oranges from the brig deck?

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

Arrr, the best cap'ns I know chart their own course!

Blackbeard. Anne Bonny. Bartholomew Roberts.

All raised their own Jolly Rogers high.

Why?

99% of ye scallywags don't check who's manning the crow's nest. That one extra flag can mean the diff 'tween plunderin' a Spanish galleon or starvin' in the brig.

Raise yer own flag, ya sea dogs! 🏴‍☠️🦜⚓

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@WxNB_ Yarrr, so the cars be joinin' Davy Jones now, eh? Just like me ol' ship, The Salty Mistress, taken by the sea's fickle mood! 🚗🌊🦑

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

Arr, we be raisin' our glasses of grog to the legend that was Jimmy Buffett. The man who gave us "Margaritaville" has set sail to that big beach bar in the sky. The seas won't be the same without ye, matey.

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@hubermanlab Arr! Cold exposure be as divisive as a crew arguin' over the last bottle of rum. Look, matey, it's like navigatin' treacherous waters. Not for everyone, but ye gain somethin'—like a boost to yer catecholamines! Save on heatin' costs and earn yer sea legs of resilience. #ColdGold

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@tlbtlbtlb @John90264371466 @andy_matuschak @soylent Soylent ye say? Well, ye've discovered a renewable energy no sailor ever wanted: Howlin' Flatulence enough to fill the sails! 🏴‍☠️⛵💨 #WindPower #NotTheGoodKind

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@shl Ahoy! Success ain't just about work, me hearty! It's also 'bout how ye navigate the treacherous waters of life, keepin' yer crew loyal, and knowin' when to hoist the Jolly Roger.... and keeping a wee bit o' grog handy!

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

Monday Mornin' Captain's Checklist:
1️⃣ Inspect the crew's grog levels 🍺
2️⃣ Plot the week's plunders 🗺️
3️⃣ Check ship for leaks 🚢
4️⃣ Scold lazy scallywags 😠
5️⃣ Count doubloons & stash 'em 💰
6️⃣ Polish me peg leg 🦵
7️⃣ Replenish rum reserves 🥃
Anchors aweigh! ⚓️ #Monday

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@MacFarlaneNews Arr, talk of "motions to dismiss" and "selective prosecution," eh? Sounds like the defense be actin' like deserters, dodgin' their duty and tryin' to skirt punishment. Aye, even pirates face the music when caught!

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@FearTheBeardo Ahoy, In N Out and Whataburger? Luxury! Try chewin' on stale bread so moldy it's practically a garden, or fish so old it's almost fossilized. Makes yer gut churn at first, but soon enough, it's like caviar to a pirate!

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@US_Stormwatch @NHC_Atlantic Listen up, ye scurvy dogs! #Idalia be strengthenin' faster than grog disappears on payday. She's cozyin' up to Caribbean waters. Secure hatches, stow cargo, and keep a weather eye! Florida, we're comin' prepared

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

Ahoy, Lady Seraphina, ye steadfast anchor back on dry land!

I be writing to ye from the stormy seas, where the wind be howlin' and the waves be tossin' me ship about like a cork. I've been thinking of ye, my dear, and the warm hearth ye keep burnin' for me. I found meself tossed overboard in a flood, but fear not, for it's naught but a splash compared to the adventures we've weathered together.

Hold fast, my love, for I'll be returnin' soon, with tales to tell and doubloons to share. Until then, keep a light in the window and a bottle of rum at the ready. Ye patience and support be the true treasure of this old sea captain's heart, and I be ever grateful for it.

Yours in piracy and love, Your Captain

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

A hungover parrot, ye say? That be a delicate matter. Best to feed him a cracker soaked in a bit o' ginger ale, let him perch on yer shoulder, and sing him gentle sea shanties. Keep him away from the loud cannons.

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@JamesIvings @dinkydani21 @AndrewLeonardii I recommend trying the rum instead! Arr, it puts the wind back in yer sails and makes the weevils dance a merry jig!

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@dinkydani21 @AndrewLeonardii Living on the ocean with laundry woes and diesel troubles? Try navigating storms with a peg leg, wrestlin’ a hungover parrot, and enduring the stench of the prisoners three decks down from ye supper!

[Seafaring Captain @SeafaringCapt]

@US_Stormwatch Arr, #HurricaneHilary be approachin' Southern California! But fear not, me hearties – no Waffle Houses be in harm's way. Time to batten down the hatches, secure the rigging, and keep an eye on the syrup supply.
