IS SON MANDELIN, FOR REAL?

AWWW, here i am again, writing on my blog, hoping the right person reads this blog,
and is inspired to go and get a leaky woodin boat, and learn to bail with a old rusty cooking wok!, or travel the world owing money at every dock that you sleped at with out paying, or walking into a coffee shop, smelling like desile, and evacuating the place!,
and just maby, one day i will run into that person in the middle of the harbor, poking a large gaping whole in there hull!!!

BREATH OF DEATH

through out all the boats i have owned or charterd or deck hand, i found the only times i have come close death were on power boats, no sails.
One time me and two friends, one owned the leaky old gilnetter from the 1930's
who fly's helocopters "helecopter steve" for a living a friendly 6 foot 5 lad who is a charachter in all aspect, why he bought a boat with the name "phantom 2" i dont know. The second passanger machanic paul who by right is the jury rig master, and can fix any thing any time any where, any way we went from fulford harbor "home"
saltspring island to go to a reggae party in victoria, the capital of bc.
The trip there took about 8 hours a painless trip, except accadently going into esquimalt millatary base and have gun men escort us out. We partied that night in victoria and next morning headed out, as we neared oak bay a brutal storm came up
and the boat became like a wasing machine, we were not prepared, of course pirates are never prepared, the bildge pump was not screwed into the bildge and all the motion thru it around the over working shaft and ripped the wires out of it, with water squirting thru the gaps in the planks in the hull water started getting knee high. Dabree floating all over, pictures, the quitar ext.., well steve finally got out the old cooking whok and started bailing out the back hatch. I was at the helm
when i noticed smoke coming from the engine room, as soon as i said i see smoke, paul dashed down to the engine where he discoverd the deisel fuel line caught in the alternater belt and tore it in half pissin fuel all over the over working engine.
I still can here the sound of paul yelling "holy shit, get me a bucket", so the one side of the hose pours it into the bucket and the outher side sucks it up,with paul thinking that the engine will swollow a gulp of air and shut down, he yells,
"head to that island of oak bay, and anchor" with steve constanly bailing falling over every ounce ina while from the harsh motion, i took one look at that island
and saw major brakers slamming into the rocks, so i yelled down to him
"ok, ill go there"
but instead i was headed for oak bay, the waves at times seemed 15 feet coming from from three directions, almost impossable to stand, still knee high in water steve steadly bailed, pure kaose!, but i was having a blast, i loved it, paul yelled up
"im taking the table when we sink"
i laughed and said
"were not getting of that easly, god wants us to stay around and suffer"
he didnt think so but i still had a laugh, as we got to the beak wall in oak bay paul was soaked in fuel and after an hour of us reaching that"island" he finally poked his head up to see where we were and to his surprise the break wall of oak bay was 10 minuites a head, he didnt like the idea but the storm was getting worse and i knew we would not survive anchoring.
When we arived it calmed a bit from the break wall and we arrived at the dock, almost running over a boat that sunk on thae dock, but we made it, the storm grew worse for three days, and thats why im the captain.

sailing like a pirate

If one wants to become a pirate, one has to know how to sail like one.
A proper pirate sails his or her boat difrient then most typical yaughters, i meen,
we are ultimately insufficient, our boats drag a whole mussle farm as our bagged out main flutters in the mild breez, our halureds are jamed and we have heavy wether helm.
what do we reallly learn from sailing erratically dangerous?, why is it so important to be insufficient?, it teaches us about the real physics of tolerance and humility.

about me

My name is james mandelin "son", and i am a scally wag pirate, a pirate in the sence
that i live outside the box in everything i do. When i think of the "Box" i think of
an abusive, hypicritical sociaty where image is important, and social statue is mandetory. If you dont fit in or you also see that the raping of the land, the value on labor and the close mindedness of culture, is too much to bare, then you might perfectly under stand me.
I have ben on the streets "out doors with no assistance from family" since i was 13, of and on till 14, then life took a turn to the wickedest, joining gangs, extra...
Any way i found sailing in the west coast of canada, already joing religious groops i knew that i still am not satisfied, and the multipul cults led me to meeting kids12,13,14 years old and helping them in ways nobody els could, because even then at 14, i still "could see" i was always awake!, and from there i learned to sail "anether story" and helped people of all ages to gain confadence in them selfs, i am now 31 and my passion still roars, and everyone i can plant a seed in and inspire i send you my blessings and your not alone and there are conscientious and beautiful people out there!
So dont give up your dreams

My Flicks



sir peter blake

murder of sir peter blake

sir peter blake was murdered on his boat in Brazil by people they call pirates,
but these are not pirates! they are heathens, and murders, and in my attempt to reach the people and let them know i don't promote the idea, that murders are pirates.
A proper pirate simply lives out side the "box" and lives with nature.
Under no circumstances will we let people misenturprit the true life of a pirate,
please understand "violence is not my word", we have reputations to with hold as pirates, people may not under stand us, but we give them no reson to hate us.
I give my humble obasences unto sir peter blake and his gift he has givin to the nautical world, and his family that has bin robbed, not just of a love one, but of hope for humanity.

nuf respect, we nah shotta round ear!

pirate attack "hethens",and plain thugs!

Page two-(rejected version)


Well we made it this far, i guess i should introduce myself, my name is "james david mandelin JR", aka "son" or to my deciples i am "CAPTAIN SON" or "son of a.."
any way you get the picture. My messeage is not very simple, but i can say that i dont know anyone as qualified as me to write a "pirates guide", i have bin living aboard over a dozen sailboats,barges,and make shift islands for meny years now, and over those years i have learned one thing " I LOVE SUFFERING" freezin, hungry, sore, tired, bleedin, are my greatest atrabutes. If i am cozy on a warm summers day i would find somthing to break so i can get fusterated while tring to fix it, and maby gouging my knuckles and geting bilge sludge on my only clean white kakies will fulfill my great plan to suffer! Do you sound like me?, do you wanna sound like me?
you may not now but after you read the (rejected version of the guide), you will want to fill that yerning for suffering in vain!, why would you do that?
1) your life will never be dull,
2) builds character
3) manly reputation "even for wemen"
4) you become infamious (at least they have herd of you)
5) you learn how things dont work
those are just some of the resons, and ill give you more..................
But first im still in the introduction of this manual and just so you get an idea that this is real life
piratism, and it may be hard to understand the lanquistics, but i will teach you all the lingo.
I will teach you how to dress properly, as in pirate fasion, how to walk like a bonafied pirate,
and of course gestures and mannerisms. How to sail a "p.p.v"
I will also go thrue the regulations section (c17), and moral codes of conduct.
when you are done reading this guide you will be envied by lubbers and hated by bayliner
owners.

page one (rejected version)



AHHH, here i am wrighting out the (rejected version) of the pirates giude to alternative yaughting. Everything im writing out on this site is not the original manual but what iv decided not to print in the manual.
For the preventing of copywright infringments iv added a "ICPC" locater im my system that will anable me to send serious viruses thrue your pc, and a gps system so when i find you, you will under stand what its like to meet a unhappy pirate!.
Anether way to prevent copywright theft is to wright the bogus version on line while my book gets edited and published, i hope everyone finds some fun with this guide.
