I have always been fascinated by pirates early from childhood and Pirates have their own unique way of talking and living styles. I wanted to get some pirate gear, no not the one eyed cloth, but a nice looking t shirt. I am also interested in getting some real pirate stuff like pirate maps and also pirate books, telling stories of pirates and bloodhood!!

Here is a small note on what i know about a pirate, courtesy movies and books, remember “treasure Island” by R.L. Stevenson?

1. Every pirate likes the sea and respects the sea. He has travelled so many places, and none of them are peninsulas or ports, all of them are islands.

2. A pirate dresses like a seaman, which is always bright and smells salty. Pirates wore hats. Most of the items he carried were present in a chest and he always carried the key in his neck.

3. Every pirate carries a sword or a knife and has killed so many people. He is brave and at the same time, a silent dog under his captain.

4. Behind every pirate, there was a captain, who buried some box of gold, somewhere, but that will never be found.

5. There was never any body who cared for the pirate, like a mother, brother or a wife, He was always single.

6. His English is unique and more characteristic is his accent. “ahoy“, “seaward ho” are two most common phrases used. I have a big list, ll populate them later!

7. A pirate drinks RUM! And he often gets high on it! Remember this - Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Until last week, the pirate blog had just the default wordpress theme, the good old blue one. I did not change it, not due to lack of time or laziness, but that i felt the template was good. It was simple, and navigation was also easy. But pirates are not simple, and i decided to go for a template.I wanted the blog to have a theme, which will be based on a mac, more than a pirate. Of course, this is our first shipment of theme and i am delighted. I was OK with this itheme, which is based on a mac, but then, i needed a little tinkering.I found a wordpress coder,  to get the job done. We are just starting and we did not pay much and we had to agree to get an existing theme tinkered rather than go for a new template, basically all that matters is the end product.Critics welcome, any opinions on the theme or layout or something else, mail me at pirate@gfyvictoria.com
