I’M A PIRATE…SORT OF

What is a pirate? The Greek root of pirate is peirates, "one who attacks." The Wikipedia definitions of pirate is: "Someone who robs at sea or plunders the land from the sea without having a commission from any sovereign nation." Synonyms: buccaneer, sea robber, sea rover. A second definition is "Uses or reproduces (another's work) for profit without permission, usually in contravention of patent or copyright." Oh well, perhaps I'm not a pirate then, but another definition is "Someone who behaves in an immoral or illegal way." Well, I try to avoid plagiarism, but I've been known to be naughty!

But I knew about Lahave river in Nova Scotia having delivered a replica Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter from there.
