as with most of my friends I started playing pirates of old helping my children, then they got bored and I found I like it and took over, so I am Richard of old and our guild leader was Johnny Ironmonk.. . As a fishing boat owner and captain I sailed the Caribbean icing up and selling my haul at different ports throughout the Gulf and the entire Caribbean.. . a bandit boat is a fishing boat fitted with several 12 volt down-rigger reels, and mainly in search of grouper and snapper , unlike a long liner that has one giant reel and lays out miles of line rigged with hooks, bandit fishermen have side fitted reels and normally 4 to 12 with single hooks.. . I also owned a cement schooner called the MistyIce , unfortunately I was on a shoal and a freak tide caught me napping and my fixed keel grounded and she scuttled over sideways taking water , I was picked up by a sea plane from Fort Jefferson Dry Tortuga's Nation Park, the MistyIce now host fish in 30 feet of blue water 3 miles starboard of the fort as a charted reef .. . I'm now 63 and my life at sea has ended, only through pirates do stand the helm once again
