One little boat and horizons and destinations unknown stretched out before you. This photo features a photograph taken at Celestun, a lonely but gorgeous little beach in the Yucatan state of Mexico. The white sand beach fades to clear gulf waters and beautiful blue sky touched with clouds.

Pirate Code of Conduct / The Pirate Code of Conduct / The Pirate Code of Conduct! A Pirate ship required a level of discipline and a Pirate Code of Conduct. The Pirate Code of Conduct was an important agreement between the Pirate Captain and his crew. The Pirate Code of Conduct consisted of a number of agreements between the Captain and pirate crew which were called Articles. The Pirate Code of Conduct was necessary as pirates were not governed by any other rules such as Naval regulations. Pirate captains were elected and could lose their position for abuse of their authority. The captain enjoyed few privileges: “The Captain or any other Officer is allowed no more [food] than another man, nay, / the Captain cannot keep his Cabbin to himself.” The Pirate Code of Conduct / An example of the Pirate Code of Conduct dealt with the following subjects: Pirate Code of Conduct 1 – Equal Voting Rights / Pirate Code of Conduct 2 – Fair share of the loot and pirates punishments for those who cheated / Pirate Code of Conduct 3 – Gambling was banned / Pirate Code of Conduct 4 – No lights at night – a pirates sleep should not be disturbed / Pirate Code of Conduct 5 – Each pirate was responsible for the upkeep of their weapons / Pirate Code of Conduct 6 – No Boys or women allowed on board / Pirate Code of Conduct 7 – Penalty for Desertion / Pirate Code of Conduct 8 – No fighting between pirates on board the ship / Pirate Code of Conduct 9 – A Pension according to the severity of wounds / Pirate Code of Conduct 10 – Shares of the loot or booty / Pirate Code of Conduct 11 – Musicians available to play when required! These Pirate codes of conduct ensured a well-run and harmonious ship! The Pirate Code of Conduct – Bartholomew Roberts Shipboard Articles 1721 / A specific Pirate Code of Conduct was agreed by Bartholomew Roberts’ in the Shipboard Articles of 1721. / Bartholomew Roberts, also known as “Black Bart” or “Black Barty”, was one of the most successful pirates, The following Code of Conduct was agreed by Bartholomew Roberts and his Pirate Crew – an important element of the success of this particular Pirate / / Pirate Code of Conduct / Bartholomew Roberts Shipboard Articles 1721 / / ARTICLE I – Every man shall have an equal vote in affairs of moment. He shall have an equal title to the fresh provisions or strong liquors at any time seized, and shall use them at pleasure unless a scarcity may make it necessary for the common good that a retrenchment may be voted. / ARTICLE II – Every man shall be called fairly in turn by the list on board of prizes, / because over and above their proper share, they are allowed a shift of clothes. But if they defraud the company to the value of even one dollar in plate, jewels or money, they shall be marooned. If any man rob another he shall have his nose and ears slit, and be put ashore where he shall be sure to encounter hardships. / ARTICLE III – None shall game for money either with dice or cards. / ARTICLE IV – The lights and candles should be put out at eight at night, and if any of the crew desire to drink after that hour they shall sit upon the open deck without lights. / ARTICLE V – Each man shall keep his piece, cutlass and pistols at all times clean and ready for action. / ARTICLE VI – No boy or woman to be allowed amongst them. If any man shall be found seducing any of the latter sex and carrying her to sea in disguise he shall suffer death. / ARTICLE VII – He that shall desert the ship or his quarters in time of battle shall be punished by death or marooning. / ARTICLE VIII – None shall strike another on board the ship, but every man’s quarrel shall be ended on shore by sword or pistol in this manner. At the word of command from the quartermaster, each man being previously placed back to back, shall turn and fire immediately. If any man do not, the quartermaster shall knock the piece out of his hand. If both miss their aim they shall take to their cutlasses, and he that draweth first blood shall be declared the victor. / ARTICLE IX – No man shall talk of breaking up their way of living till each has a share of l,000. Every man who shall become a cripple or lose a limb in the service shall have 800 pieces of eight from the common stock and for lesser hurts proportionately. / ARTICLE X – The captain and the quartermaster shall each receive two shares of a prize, the master gunner and boatswain, one and one half shares, all other officers one and one quarter, and private gentlemen of fortune one share each. / ARTICLE XI – The musicians shall have rest on the Sabbath Day only by right. On all other days by favour only. / / Pirate Code of Conduct / Bartholomew Roberts Shipboard Articles 1721 / / Nikon D60~ 55/200 / Puerto Vallarta, Mexico 08’

San Ignacio Lagoon is one of the best places in the world to see Gray whales and their calves up close. During the calving season you can go out into the lagoon in a small boat (called a panga), and after a short wait, the whale mum and calf will come up to you. They (mainly the calf) love to rub themselves against the boats and also to be scratched! You really get a close up look into their eyes! Then, just when you start to feel at one with each them, they blow salt water in your face and all over your camera! But it’s worth it!!! / / You may also get to see some great breaching too. / / (San Ignacio Lagoon – Baja California) / / / >< / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

The Humpback whale is one of the most studied marine mammal and yet, we still know very little. One important trait of the Humpback whale is that each individual has a unique color pattern on the underside of its tail (more properly called a fluke), and which displays designs in varying tones of white, grey and black. This particular characteristic makes it possible for us to identify each different individual by simply taking a clear photo of the underside of its fluke. This way, we can, over many years’ time, know who is where and doing what with whom. This also permits us to count and estimate the number of individuals of a certain population. A little nosy aren’t we? Well, let us be nosy because the more we know and understand about these magnificent creatures, the more apt we are at protecting them and assuring their survival as a species.

I saw & felt this male Humpback Whale jumping out of the water from our very small fishing boat. It was a spectacular exp for me… Something I will never forget. Humpbacks are known as the acrobats of the ocean, often seen breaching (jumping out of the water), and flipper and tail slapping. For what purpose are these actions? These activities performed by surface active groups are usually involved in breeding behaviors. Researchers think the males are competing for the chance to mate with available females. Some of the behaviors shown were breaching, flipper/pec (pectoral fin) slapping and tail slapping. Breaches and slaps, in addition to being aggressive displays during courtship, may also be a play behavior in juvenile and adult whales Breaches and slaps may also be used to remove pesky barnacles or old skin (a form of grooming). The average length of a humpback whale? / Calves can be about 15 feet in length. Adults are about 45-50 feet.~ Nikon D60/55-200 / N.W. Mexico / Jan-2009 1802 views / 11-09

/ Nikon D60~ 55/200 / Mexico Jan/2009 Snowy Egret / Egretta thula / Length: 22 to 26 inches Wingspan: 46 inches Seasonality: Summer / Migrant / ID Keys: Black legs with contrasting yellow feet, black bill, all white plumage The elegant snowy egret was killed by the thousands in the 1800’s for its long, lacy breeding plumage, which was used for women’s hats and other clothing. It has recovered both in range and numbers since that time. Of the white egrets found in South Dakota, the Snowy Egret can be identified by its size (smaller than the Great Egret), it’s yellow feet contrasting with black legs. See the Identification Tips page for differentiating among the white Egrets and Herons in the state. Habitat: Prefers large sloughs or marshes, sometimes edges of ponds or lakes. / Diet: Varies, but includes fish, crustaceans, insects, frogs, lizards, snakes, rodents, snails, and worms. / Behavior: Uses a variety of foraging techniques. They will often actively wade through shallow waters, chasing prey that is startled by the movement. They will also stand still in shallow water, waiting for prey to approach. Snowy Egrets will also forage on dry land, usually in search of insects. / Nesting: June and July / Breeding Map: Breeding bird survey map / Song: Generally silent / Migration: Birds in the interior of the country migrate to U.S. coastal areas, Mexico, and Central America in the fall. / Similar Species: Cattle Egret, Great Egret, immature Little Blue Heron. See Identification Tips for differentiating between these species. / Conservation Status: Expanding range to the north and increasing population in recent decades. Numbers are still far below historical levels, however. 1520 views as of 11-09 as required I write here by the 500+ group.
