Save San Francisco Bay Forty Years on a Hook By Privateer Chaplin

The Historic Anchor-Out Boat Community boats and vessels clean countless gallons of water through the mussels and barnacles on their boats and floating homes filtering the bay and now that they are gone, the seagull population will drop also,  roosting places on boats as well and the Eelgrass also of which is overgrown now and already was and will get worse and so bad that vessels will not be able to navigate through the Sargasso sea and especially motor boats. 

During the summer, algae bloom from the runoff from all the millionaires' homes and gardens, and pesticides and fertilizers. 

    That surround Richardson Bay and will make it stink more than ever, and make the navigable waters more of a maritime wasteland desert with not enough oxygen for the marine life, and the answer is no more building mansions around the bay, and no more eco-polluting yacht harbors that have destroyed most of the Eelgrass and this is why the real estate interests have conspired, with the banks to get rid of the Historic Anchor-Out Community that has been in existence for hundreds of years and as far back as when the historic Privateer and Pirate Sir Francis Drake anchored in Richardson bay first after discovering the opening to San Francisco Bay as described by the Southern Miwok Elders and the book published by the Pacific Asian Press and now out of print called Drake at Olompali, by a Miwok dentist/doctor and direct descendant of Chief Marin, after which the County of Marin was named  and was a tug captain and Mariner also and would have been horrified of what happened to Richardson Bay and its gentrification and those that want to turn it into a showcase artist village by the sea, after destroying the last vestiges of Maritime trades and fisheries and tuning Sausalito into a Disneyland Park after building a Museum, in the future of the way life was in the town that the book by Jack London, who lived there also, called the Sea Wolf. Opening with a true collision between. The Sausalito Ferry, with a freighter and finally, those that want Sausalito, to be an Art Colony are the worst of the worse, like a Galilee Harbor for instance, that was permitted to be a Maritime Harbor and is instead a de facto, artist colony that eventually turned on the Anchor-outs, who were suppose to be a refuge, for the Anchor-Out and working waterfront Maritime Community and it all started with the early sixties Anchor-Out pioneers, who built the first floating platforms and sheds, to work from, because of the price of land and lack of affordable housing and then the artists, with their college degrees came along and bought their floating shacks and turned them into studios, from the high school educated mariners and tradesmen and in turn sold out to the millionaire houseboat community who in turn, turned also on the remaining anchor-out community, from which, they were born. Like Galilee Harbor also, a more contemporary example. Sighed Privateer/Pirate Chaplin Peter Christian Romanowsky.

Unedited voice to text ... When I first met Bo Conally he was being hassled by the police who was accusing him of stealing some bicycle parts like a tuber Tire or something and Bo was slim and trim and fit like Jack LaLanne and was polishing detailing cars which gave him a great and muscular body and I even saw a picture of him in the Bank of America with local Sausalito art photography and a picture of him really buffed up and flexing his muscles if I recall and gradually I learn more about this character and his character as time went on and at some point he started getting weight and became morbidly obese and still able to function and ride a bike and do all this other stuff but compared to the way he looked he was morbidly obese as time went on and on and off you see Bo riding bicycles that he basically swapped and any bicycle that was unlocked and Sausalito belong to both as far as I was unconcerned at the time he even took one of my bikes and tried to charge me a finder fee what I found him in the park with my bike to get it back and there's no opportunity but won't take to make a buck and was Notorious for taking stolen bicycles to emergency City to sell for drugs of course and girls and ladies would flock around bow and because he always had quote good dope. One story I heard was that Bo was sitting in Smitty's bar on a stool and somebody came up and smacked him to the ground or something like that knocked him off his stool for giving his daughter LSD if I recall. I always got along with Bo and only had one major event with him when he had moved onto a boat and was sleeping in the engine room of a luxury yacht with a lady going through a midlife crisis I suppose and was letting us Waterfront people on to her yet to party and both out to this was his game or territory and that I was muscling in on his cash cow and princess who would rent a stretch limo with a bar and invite people to come into her rented stretch limousine and that's how I met this year woman who is going through marriage crisis and her husband wasn't approving of her opening up the luxury hot too us Waterfront people and both finally snapped while I was holding my dog at school to make a beach in front of a number of witnesses and took a didgeridoo and smashed it on me and hit my dog in the process who was in my arms and the didgeridoo shattered into a million pieces and if it was made of bamboo of which they never are it could have seriously injured us and it shattered into proverbial dust but my dog let out a wealth and Witnesses said that Bo hit my dog in the process and Bo is arrested and taken away and allegedly the police said that if Bo had only hit me he wouldn't have interested and but he hit the dog in the process and later on when it's public defender wanted to talk to me about it I didn't want to press the case and we've been friends ever since and in spite of ups and downs and spirals and twirly twos, we seem to maintain our friendship and at our arms distance much of the time as he was busy entertaining people in Dunphy Park in the daytime and the stories and tales of Bo Conley could fill a book in itself on how he fancied himself the mayor of Sausalito and I agreed and when I asked him why doesn't he get mental disability and get SSI money for he was always broke or hustling for money or writing bicycles to Marine City in exchange for you know what and it seemed so many different bicycles he wrote and I saw him riding virtually down the middle of the street at night with no lights and riding towards Marine City through Sausalito and amazing that he didn't get pulled over and for he said that he holds the record and no excuse me it was somebody else who said that he holds the record for being arrested in Marin County and Bo himself was telling me how when they were printing out his rap sheet in one of the many times he's been arrested on Petty things that the printer just kept going and going and spitting out paper and printing and as a confirmation of what somebody else told me that he held a record in the history Marin County, or at least modern history for being arrested and of course he always asks for jury trial and that's when they usually drop charges for drinking in public and I've never seen him publicly intoxicated and for he could drink and maintain and he would get belligerent and arrogant things like that but staggering drunk I have never seen him staggering drunk and maybe when he was passed out on a soft sweet little park bench it was from drinking and if it was it was just to help us sleep and I remember one time when he was sleeping on the park bench and he had his hand out open and I put money in it and he could collect money in his sleep. I helped them get it started in the art business by giving him a stack of watercolors that a artist that had thrown away in a dumpster and I took the watercolors I wanted and gave him the rest and he sold them and apparently made so much money that after he ran out of watercolors he started painting himself and selling his own art and became a folk artist and calling himself a Van Bow and I have one of his paintings and post a picture of it when I can and that is just one of many stories of Van Bow and will continue again with more stories of this late iconic figure in 40 years of the demise of the most famous Anchorage in the world with it 72 hour including limit and these are stories of the past that one might never know of or experience again until people are free to anger and live and work on San Francisco Bay again and to continue with my story about Bo Conely and I asked him if you ever thought of getting mental disability in he said no because he wants to run for mayor of Sausalito on the city council and never did and but he volunteered himself to be my campaign business manager when I was running for I believe it was Sausalito School Board and he raised money and a few hundred dollars and then had a party in the park with him beer and hot dogs and hamburger or chicken and then tried to charge me for it after he has some lady from what I understand donate $200 for my campaign and he spent it having a party and then forever he tried to charge me with that party and that's just the way he was a real Hustler and struggle daily to make ends meet while living in his shoes and moving anchored out at times and moved on to a houseboat recently and or had it donated to him to take it out of the Sausalito Yacht Harbor and I'll never forget him on that boat being called out on that big floating houseboated his former porno producer friend left him with and because he starred in apparently a number of porno videos and claim that he was in the movie Behind the Green Door of which was produced in Sausalito and Marin County by the the brothers who owned a strip joint in San Francisco called Sodom and Gomorrah or a show called Sodom and Gomorrah that seemed to go on forever and another Waterfront person and artist said that he worked for the Mitchell Brothers and on that movie and said Bo is never in it even though both clean to be one of the masked people in it of which I've never seen the movie and it was the first porno movie to ever go on mainstream and one must be careful what one starts in sauce you know for what starts in Sophia does not stay in Sausalito and but goes around the world the good and the Bad and the Ugly things that happen on the waterfront the farmer artist colony called Sausalito and of which has gone Disneyland today for tourists and more stories about our most enduring Sausalito Waterfront character and he used to hijack people's barbecues and did mine a couple of times and so I put a barbecue on a Bicycle Built for Two. The kind that are clipped onto yachts and latest stainless steel around and would like the barbecue and cook while I'm riding my bicycle for instance and when he would show up pretty much take over the barbecue and take twice as much as a lot of saying that he wants to take to compress to watch the game on a stoop across from Smitty's bar where he had been now 86 from and watched the big screen come across the street and that was his version of going to watch the game and whether it was football or baseball or basketball I'm not sure I've never been to a professional sports event in my life and when both showed up at schoonermaker beach in Sausalito and while I'm barbecuing chicken and I will never forget the expression on his face or the look what he saw he couldn't get his hands on the barbecue and because it was portable now on the bicycle I just rode off and left them in the proverbial charcoal death so to speak and I love that man and that man is never crossed the line with me as far as rejecting him totally as a friend and for he did have a heart and had no teeth in kept his false teeth out even broken and stained of which made them look more real in his situation and how he could talk and drink and act with a full set of false teeth was amazing to me and he would even hide stuff under his false uppers for instance and remember to please tell him to take his teeth out to see if he had a hit on a bag of something under them and such is the life and times of a man that was always entertaining and are scamming and are working with the police as a low-level snitch to keep from being called off and send to jail for an extended period of time I wish to my knowledge she never has been to prison or even spent an extended period of time in jail and was somehow, always seems to get off the hook and when in jail I heard he takes over the television and watch is Just Sports channel and charges people candy bars to change the channel and that's the way he is hustling and making a living anyway he can and once told me that a man has got to get every little scrap of happiness that one can and obviously, in his chronically homeless situation as when asked where he lived he would say that he lived in his shoes and I remember him being in a flimsy tent or plastic covering during a really bad winter storm and nothing seem to affect him and could sleep anywhere and on a bench or in a tent or in a car or van and gets kicked from Pillar To Post by the local authorities and some stuck up Waterfront people from Galilee Harbor on that street in Sausalito and he just keeps coming back and bouncing back like one great big black rubber ball and wouldn't let anything get him down and again I've never seen him staggering drunk and but was told that he could drink a whole quart of vodka without getting drunk and then go to Friday night weekly jazz festival in the summer and sell his paintings and that man can hold his liquor without getting staggering drunk or totally shit faced and still function and but his eyes look yellow then would talk about livers exploding for drugs and alcohol overuse in general no doubt had a an enlarged liver and eventually did pass away in Dunphy Park Sausalito after having apparently a heart attack where he had gotten morbidly obese and was still able to function and passed away with a waterfront friend at his side to see him off, in tears named Robbie and so he didn't die alone and friendless and more stories to tell and again it would take an entire book to tell all the stories and antics about the late Bo Conelly and I remember on another occasion when I got permission to have a Sunday service at the senior center at Sausalito City Hall and Library and virtually nobody showed up and specially because I didn't have any extra money to buy food and refreshments of which would have helped to draw people and of which I eventually begin doing years later and only have taken recently a year Sabbath after the cumulation of 6 years to have about having the three course dinner meals under the auspices of the New Covenant Evangelistic Association Incorporated of which I am also a CEO and president of officially for life 8501 C3 non-profit religious organization which my children's mother is the treasure and acting secretary and any inquiries questions or additions, just let me know in writing to the New Covenant Evangelistic Association Incorporated PO box 2404 San Anselmo California 94960 and so Bo showed up dressed like a preacher and holding the Bible and was getting ready it looked like to preach a sermon and to share from the word from his Baptist Bible believing background from back East in Georgia somewhere and there was nobody there to preach to you so he left and I was there virtually in an empty Senior Center room of which I didn't have to pay rent at which years later I had to pay $35 an hour to read to see you send her with the kitchen and begin having Free Church dinners for years until we recently retiring from that in Sausalito to take a sabbatical year off for in the Old Testament scriptures it says to work your field for 6 years and the seventh year letter rest and this is my rest here on July 29th 2024. Another story story about Bo of Interest is when Francis Ford Coppola was making a movie called Jack here and Sausalito with Robin Williams and while Francis was at both favorite barber shop on Caledonia Street during a break during the movie making and was having a haircut and or a shave, Bo had told someone that he knew Robert Williams and was his dance instructor at College of Marin where taught briefly dancing and put together his own teaching book on Dancing if I recall and taught Robin Williams how to dance and knew him personally he attended his senior year in high school at Redwood High School in Larkspur California and The Story Goes if I could remember that someone in the barbershop if not Francis Ford himself was told by Bo that he was Robin's dance instructor and then Bo went out and found Robin and Sausalito and got his autograph and proving to someone that he knew Robin personally and I myself tried to give Robin Williams a thumbnail sequel on a cassette tape of a movie idea and sequel to the movie Hook that Robin Williams starred in of which movie I love very much and I tried to give the cassette with the idea on it to Robin and Sausalito while making the movie and he said he couldn't take it because of his talent agency and so I went to his boss Francis Ford who is with a bodyguard standing alone in a parking lot and Sausalito during the movie making and as I approached him he accepted the cassette thinking that it was music and that I was a rock singer and I explained to him that it was a sequel idea to the movie Hook and he accepted it and in front of his bodyguard Witness we sure cans that I wouldn't sue him if he took the idea on the cassette and sometime later I saw him being interviewed on television and was asked the one thing that he has never accomplished or done and surprisingly he said that he's never had an original movie idea and so maybe my idea if he ever listened to the cassette or remembers will be movie and even though he didn't originate the thought of the sequel idea or the plot and all things are possible with God and Francis was a very gracious man to me and God bless him as he seeks the road of perfection, in Jesus Christ and his perfection that covers all who are born again and believe of all one's imperfections as we strive to be perfect and learn from our errors and mistakes of which are not sins unless we learn from them and not the type of sins to damn somebody to judgment such as the great sin of apostasy of which is the loss of love for the godhead and Heaven and the Heavenly Host and above all the Father himself and if you'd like to correspond you can buy mail to Peter Romanowsky P.O.

40 years on a hook on boats on San Francisco Bay and unedited work in progress by Peter Romanowsky of Sausalito

Speaking in a somewhat poetic way as life is the greatest poem in the Bible is the greatest book of poems and as I sit waiting for an anchor out shipmate Steve to come by and take me to shore to do my necessary shopping as I only come to shore lately twice a week anchored off Sausalito on San Francisco Bay end of the best of my knowledge has spent more time on a hook than anybody on the bay except for the possibility of Greg Baker of Sausalito over which is an honorable person and yes he works for the both sides and he is a mediator and someone that can work with the both sides and has rescued me more than once and I have a debt of gratitude to him and in the meanwhile I just drug anchor some hundreds of yards and I'm currently in a position in the midst of all my fellow Anchorage and feel closer to home with them now for I was more isolated where I was anchored and now I'm able to have more interaction with my fellow boat refugees Anchorage Mariners privateers and benign Pirates as well as Fisherman's salvagers Mariners and again I believe that the movie Waterworld was inspired by the dry docks of Sausalito of which the atol in the movie reminds me of and there was a Hollywood script writer a ghost writer and a well-known writer who was on a monstrous catamaran that had blown into the dry dogs and he moved on to it with his typewriter and laptop and started writing and before long the movie Water World came out now isn't that a coincidence and he also was a tutor to the Kennedys and so there is a lot of history here on the waterfront of Sausalito and I am the contemplating writing a book starting from my life and San Fernando Valley and Encino California in West Valley Los Angeles and escaping so to speak back to Marin County and Sausalito of whom I fell in love with at first sight and was originally a artist colony and now has become so gentrified it is difficult to distinguish Sausalito as an artist colony and presently we are under duress from the bay conservation development Commission and the Richardson Bay Regency agency and the city council of Sausalito which are all against the waterfront and Mariner Way of Life and have passed regulations and in effect laws without legislation an unconstitutional and against a Bill of Rights of seizing people's property within 10 days after a flimsy note being and a 72 hour rule made by a non-representative community Army committees that have no legislative powers and this is a matter for the state legislator and not for local cronies to pass regulations and Taxation Without regulations and hiring a privateer and pirate Harvard administrator and his goonie who already has assaulted the president of the Marin County homeless Union and trying to defend people's floating homes that have historically been on Richardson Bay and part of the greater San Francisco Bay for Millennia going back to the local first American natives called the water of people and known as the miwoks the miwoks and who have lived on the waters here and it is commonly believed that they call this rainbow Bay and this is the first place that Sir Francis Drake anchored after discovering the entries to the Golden Gate Bridge according to the local first Americans whose descendants wrote a book called Drake at olimpie and you can hopefully find a copy of the book describing Drake's first encounter with the first Americans here in Marin County and they loved adored him and reverenced him for he was kind to the local inhabitants and repaired his ship here in Novato California near a place called birkenshire in Novato California where the the shore of the bay used to be much bigger and now is a good distance from the place where Drake apparently built the first English fort or fortification or wall in North America by Drake and his crew and more to say later and God bless you for reading in Jesus name . 

Forty Years on a Hook by Chaplin to thr Pirates of San Francisco Bay

It's taken 40 years for me to move back on land and have running water and shower and band feels so good to wake up in the morning to have clean.  hair again and shower regularly. And the only thing different about having an apartment is to have  close neighbors.Of which I'm not accustomed to and having to be quiet. And especially after ten oclock and It's like living In a monastic community for me wich soots me well To be living in a quiet and upscale community.With a heated pool and an elaborate workout and  gym area, as well as a large open picnic area here at Skylark Apts in beautiful Larkspur California of which I first moved here sixty years ago and have made full circle, back to where I began I 1964, after living in Encino California and then Forestville And don't forget to hit the like. Button and follow button. Also, and I've reached my limit on friends and thank you for your interest in friending and be patient and persistent. And you will be included.

 Eventuall and God bless for your loves and prayers And support in being able to help others also CEO of the New Covenant Evangelistic Associatio. Inc P.O. Box 2404 San Anselmo, Ca.94960 And still pastor to the pirates of San Francisco Bay And just moved headquarters to dry land.

 Of which I found out does exist. See the movie water world which was inspired by our San Francisco Bay community and Sausalito In memory of the most favorite and the most well known Pirate or Privateer in History Sir Francis Drake who anchored here before us off of Sausalito on San Francisco Bay And what would the world be without Privateers and even Pirates For they gave us freedom. From kings and queens and Dictatorial governments Like the San Francisco Bay, conservation and development commission, an arm of the rich powerful and yacht harbors.And the Richardson Bay Regency Agency, their enforcement arm here in Marin County. And gave us things like workman's compensation from losing an arm or leg and battle. And democracy in the world where there was none And the pirates.

 Of the Caribbean, during the Golden Age of piracy helped bring democracy to America. For Pirates elected their own leaders and captains And even had a form of civil marriage between pirates when no women were  allowed on pirate ships, with few exception like Anne Bonney who dressed like a pirate to blend and was Captain Jack Sparows mate and another well known female pirate or Privateer whoes name slips at the moment and Privaters or Pirates shared equally with thier prizes  and the captain got double And we're even required to have church on deck on sundays Like black bark bartholomew , the Pirate who took more ships anyone in pirate in history and never drank Or abused anyone to my knowledge, except the incident of a slave ship that went down with the slave still chained to it. And of course Pirates freed slaves also and indentured white slaves and sailors press ganged into British Navy and more to say on the subject and search Pirates Code by Captian Morgan and Black Bart Bartholomew And remember, after the war of succession after the king of Spain died, who was the most powerful ruler in the world, although he waso in bread by this time and  was a non functionary, and only had the title Eventually went to French nobility And left a lot of French and British sailors without in a maritime occupation, after the wars between.

Spain france england and the Dutch who allied with the English against, both Spain and France and Black Beard who was a Jacobite on the side of of the Scotch rebel King to the throne of England who lost his battle and had no love for the French. And the warring parties had no reemployment program after the French, English, Dutch, Spanish and Portugese. Except for the Dutch.Who taught the sailors how to be fishermen And the rest became Independent Privateers...to be continued in the next chapter of Forty Years on A Hook by Pirate Chaplin  Peter "Christian" Romanowsky the Russian....

Chapter Eight / The Philisopical Life and Times by Peter "Christian" Romanowsky

(1) Pain is both a blessing and a curse, for there are far worse things than physical pain....(2) Never share your deepest secrets with anyone, but your family in Heaven and not even your spouse, brother or best friend or even ones  mother...(3) Pain like pleasure, nevertheless and only comes in waves... Never trust anyone a hundred percentv and not even oneself... (4) What I miss about my father the most, is him clearing his throat at night or a while laughing or coughing and watching television, it's just to know that I have a father no matter how mean and contemptible... (5) This life is not the destination, for its the journey... life is a testing ground to see who will reign in the next life and who will be a servant...(6)

Every race has beautiful people in it and every race has ugly people also...(7)  Everyone is born ignorant and the hardest thing for a man to do, is to love ignorant people or their ignorance, through no fault of their own and for nobody knows everything except the Creator, except for one thing one can tell him a joke that he has never heard... (8) For I would rather be God's Jester in His Court for the Jester is the one that comes closest to God's face... (9) God did not create us to be robots, yes men or automatons or puppets, but as His children and born of God and share the same divine nature of creativity... (10) There is no darkness so great as to not have a spot of light and there is no light so bright, in this life without a spot of dark... There is no contest between light and darkness in the universe, for Darkness can never put out the light and Light can put out the darkness...There is no greater power than love, when mixed with Justice and mercy, to the penitent... When Heaven and Earth cease, all that will be left in the universe will be love, some may find it the long way and some may find it the short way and some may not ever find it at all... Hatred is like a cancer that eats one up when after it first feels so good and right and ends in pain and suffering and hatred of oneself... Nakedness is close to Godliness, when one has no guilt or shame...God does not produce cats and dogs, but produces children... There is nothing broken in this world, that heaven can't fix in this life, or the next...A clsy pot is worthless until it is put into the fire and hardened....The appetite for food is stronger than the appetite for sex and he who can over come this appetite, has overcome all... The next thing to making love a beautiful woman is to be sailing a boat.... the Creator gave us omnivorous teeth, so one will never have to feel guilty for eating flesh, for strength and not for lust...

before me and head cut off his stinger and I left it in the sun too long mama before releasing it and while looking at this Beast, it seemed to curse me,  with it s horned eyes and eventually after releasing it and  rolling to shore and as I climbed out of my boa on the beach a palm branch struck me in the leg and hit a nerve, the pain was so great that I had to go to the emergency room and looking back, even though that black Bat Ray had no stinger, it still got me and so I learned to respect God's creatures, more than ever before and so I rarely go fishing  for sport...(68) When the

a stain on him in Athens and contributed to his death sentence on ultimately being accused of blaspheming or talking down the  Greek gods to the youth of Athens, and as so was Alcibidies was originally condemned to death, for after destroying or defacing a statue or statues or Mercury, in Athens and profaning the Elysian Mysteries and meanwhile fought on both sides of the Peloponnesian

Forty Years on a Hook by Privateer Pastor Peter Christian Romanowsky Chapter/The Sausalito Military Man Marine

One day or night and Dunphy Park after my unexpected and unwanted divorce and was forced to live full-time alone on my boat and on the waterfront of Sausalito, anchored out and not in a harbor or boat slip, for some time and that only lasted 3 years and while in the park I met a Vietnam veteran/ Marine. His first impression on me was brutal gruesome bullish and somewhat demented with PTS and said that he had killed 12 people in Colorado in Vietnam and he looked down on draft Dodgers, hippies and non-military people who haven't served their country and especially in Vietnam in a combat role like he was involved with and approached me like I was some type of draft dodging hippie and he couldn't get that out of his mind, no matter what I told him and how I was given a 4F, buy the draft board in Oakland with no explanation except I told them that I had just got licensed as a Baptist minister, in a major denomination called The General Baptist Church of which is the opposite of the Southern Baptist Church and when I received my papers denying me, I noticed in carbon or because of carbon paper something was written on my paper about being arrested for marijuana as a teenager, for possessing or being with someone possessing one ounce of marijuana, when it was a felony to even have three seeds. Apparently the one who sent me the paper wanted me to see the carbon riding that bled through from a top paper that had that information on it and the arrest history of a minor is forbidden to see, except by the federal government and in an ironic Twist of fate for not only  being licensed by the Elders of the Central Committee of the General Baptist Church in California, helped me not to get drafted, but the marijuana charge as minor also tip helped the scale. For they did not want people with drug problems in the military and especially at this time, while the war was winding down, in the late sixties and Vietnam soldiers were having serious problems with drugs in Vietnam and dealing and sending drugs back to America in coffins and body bags and but probably also involved theft of government property and I try to explain these things to the military man and he acted as though his mind was made up and don't confuse me with the facts. This is how the PTS syndrome affected him, by making him antisocial and sociopathic tendencies, Complicated by paranoia and has had to go to the VA Hospital in San Francisco and quite often when he's in the Bay Area and when he's not traveling around like in Tahoe for instance or Reno or even Florida?                     This pattern of aggressive behavior and demeaning comments to those who did not serve in Vietnam for instance like he did as a Marine and treated everybody else like lazy draft dodging hippies. He has never been known to my regulation of beating anyone up except a police officer in Sausalito and is ready to fight them also and when they find out that he's a combat Marine vet and suffering from PTS, they give him a break for many police officers also, served in Vietnam and understood his state of mind and Trauma and after all right after the war they just shipped everybody home without, deprogramming them, from their military training, in boot camp and actual battle Warfare.                                                                         So my first encounter with the military man was of pent up progression of which again I can't recall him actually ever assaulting any of the waterfront or anchor out community on Richardson Bay/ San Francisco Bay and he also worked for and partnered with a man that he claimed had 30 or more houseboats or boats converted to being lived aboard and rented and stayed busy with him and probably took him along to collect rent from the votes that he had salvaged or bought and rented. As the military man the Waterfront and Anchorage of Sausalito on San Francisco Bay, he would eventually come and go and disappear and the fear over long periods of time and it has been a long time since I've heard from the military man and when I do see him he's always up to edgy tricks like when he's broke of which he usually is when he shows back up and the San Francisco Bay area and specifically Sausalito and the Veterans Hospital in San Francisco of which he goes to regularly for his PTS syndromes for he doesn't complain about any physical problems or reasons to go to Veterans Hospital and so I assume from my observation and reasoning and deduction that that is why he returns to San Francisco and Sausalito and especially after spending all his money and is broke and is trying to make money when he's in town and one cheap way is to do what I call a Ripon scheme. It's a word I coined after my divorce and transformation from a middle the class lifestyle, with the fringe benefits of marrying into a wealthy and Powerful family, of which turned against me and when forced to move on to the Waterfront of socio and the Anchorage in my 30 foot marine plywood sailboat, with a leak that I could never stop and the 20 years on more that I lived on it and it finally had so much dry rot that it sank one stormy night without me on it. So when I was forced to live in soft people full time people started giving me stuff and one person in particular I remember a nice and harmless homeless man and he would give me something that I didn't need and almost insist or force me to take it and then would ask me for money so to speak and that is what I call a Ripon scam. Where someone will give you something and it will have strings attached and it's not really a gift but a way to panhandle and some can get aggressive like the military man and one time yeah threatened to dislocate my thumb if I didn't buy some used jeans that he had salvaged and he was so insistent that as a symbol I put him in a trash can next to me and trying to tell him that I didn't need those pants and simultaneously he would be trying to Jack me up for money.

40 years on a hook by privateer pastor of San Francisco Bay chapter the story of Rudy Homer nice guy pirate salvager and drug dealer of Richardson Bay

This is a story about the late Homer and historical anchor out and resident of the historical special Federal Anchorage of Sausalito California. A part of San Francisco Bay and according to his right hand man, whom we call a military man and a Vietnam combat veteran and Marine and was partners with Rudy  In his renting and maintaining Rudy's vast Fleet of anchored out boats and vessels converted to makeshift houseboats ,of what, he had bought or  salvaged and this according to what his partner or employee we shall call the military man, told people that he had condos 35 on the water. To make a better impression on people and a vast exaggeration and of these anchored out boats, of which military man, the friend, employee or partner and  or all of the above, said we're were about at least 30 boats, I recall again, that Rudy Homer had not only rented out these boats but also sold drugs, to his tenants from everything from marijuana to heroin. Without military man's involvement, to the best of my knowledge and understanding and being more of a an employee than a partner and a friend and incidentally Rudy had built a floating island made of floating platforms of what she piled and stored all sorts of salvaged and bought Marine Goods for retail and maintenance of his anchored out Fleet, of which was moored on  my late father-in-law's underwater property, named the late Ernest Nile Kettenhofen and former Martin County supervisor and sea captain, behind the yellow fairy a decommissioned ferry boat that was being used as a houseboat residence and was not even in the federally protected anchor out Zone. Rudy was a very pleasant and polite person to talk to and was originally from Germany and had a jaguar mechanic business in San Francisco from what I understand and even a grave plot of which I don't know if you ever made it to it because someone who claimed to be a person of responsibility, had him cremated and so maybe his ashes ended up in his pre purchased graveside?                           So as the stories go the longest surviving anchor out next to the late Ale Extrome and who lived on the remains of a gigantic floating World War II battleship submersional Dry Dock, that was floated into Richardson Bay, in order to build a liverboard community on this or these two gigantic wood and floating dry docks, of which got stuck in the mud and remain stuck in the middle of Richardson Bay for many years and occupied by various anchor out Pirates and denizens and finally became the city hall headquarters of the anchor outs of Richardson Bay, under a charismatic unnamed leader at the time who asked me where all the heat was coming from to remove anchored out boats and I mentioned to him that it was coming from Rudy's massive floating junkyard and countless rental boats and when at least one person died of a heroin overdose of which apparently mistakenly are not that Rudy Homer had sold to the young man and was found dead on his floating home and boat and this was the second time, if I recall that someone had died of an overdose and this was long before Fentanyl. Now whether Rudy was responsible for at least a couple of deaths that I've heard of or rumored of. The Unofficial mayor of Richardson Bay and so said leader of the dry dock and anchor out community that lived on our next to it with their votes tied to it and when he heard that he wanted to go and confront him, about trashing out the bay with his massive floating Marine junkyard of which he would ask almost new prices for things when normally you buy things on the waterfront for a dime on the dollar and he would sell what seem to be closer to retail and he softened up on his hard line bargaining about selling used Marine gear, not long before his demise and actually started giving things away or at a very low and reasonable price and this kind of caught me off guard and maybe he had a premonition of his demise and or maybe he had been threatened and but something soften him up on his hard line bargaining and he always had $5,000 in his upper shirt pocket of a outdoor Pendleton like ragged and dingy shirt he wore and dressed poorly and had some huge dogs of what she walked and when I tried to give him a shirt virtually just like the one that was so old dirty and worn out looking that he was wearing he said no thank you for people give him money when he wears this shirt for his dogs. With this $5,000 that he would carry folding up in his top shirt pocket he could buy and sell and trade anything on the waterfront for cash is King on the waterfront. I saw him at Margaritaville Bar one time all dressed up like a real pirate and that surprised me and actually kind of impressed me for he look like one would dress like for a Halloween. I remember also seeing him leaning over a dumpster in downtown Sausalito in front of the Yacht Harbor and with his elbows whatever on the dumpster Edge he would be eating something that he found in a dumpster and remember he walks around with $5,000 in a separate shirt pocket and he's eating out of a dumpster and didn't care what anybody thought of him and that's just the way things are with long-term anchorouts for they get to the point where they are not bothered either by dumpster diving, salvaging and or recycling out of dumpsters and eating out of the dumpsters also, for all the good and edible food that is thrown away including canned food and the 7-Eleven dumpster is the richest dumpster in town for food for when things expire their shelf life sandwiches wrapped in things are still good long after the Shelf a date and but have to be thrown into the dumpster and perfectly good food to eat including their hot dogs of which I have never been sick eating 7-Eleven hot dogs that were thrown away off the grill. Now that's another story about salvaging and recycling everything from Marine gear out of dumpsters to paints and other Marine Hardware and necessities for reuse and even reusing used Kerosene by letting it sit and all of the paint mixed in with the paint thinner for instance was settled at the bottom and you could pour off pure paint thinner once all the particles after brush cleaning and redepositing the used paint thinner in a 5 gallon can and it can be used again and other boat paint products and so this is where Rudy Homer also got a lot of his Marine Salvage from next to or in dumpsters and I found an entire Marine converted aluminum Volkswagen Rabbit engine, with a marine conversion and traded it for barter if I recall.                                                     The trouble began and the demise of Rudy Homer is eventually, with the bad blood between him and the defacto leader and mayor of Richardson Bay. When some stolen docks were sold to his close friend and anchor out taxi driver,from San Francisco living anchored out on the water also and Rudy wouldn't refund the money after the buyer found that they were stolen and sold him and so are unofficial and de facto mayor went over to confront Rudy about the refusal to give back the money and an argument broke out and from what I understand, blows were exchanged and for Rudy Homer was an experienced pugilist and from what I was told by and I Witness was that after exchanging blows Rudy knocked him off the floating dog that he had moved closer to the dry docks after being evicted from off my late in laws underwater property by the local authorities no doubt pressuring him off the private underwater property and moving out more into the middle of Richardson Bay with his last remaining floating docks with all of his Marine possessions piled on them and I can't imagine his dog surviving and over a hundred mile an hour wind gusts that happen every 5 years, on San Francisco Bay and so the de facto mayor or leader of the anchor out community was knocked into the water by the pugilist and some talk about the Mariner having a wood stick in his hand to confront the very large 6 ft five giant of a man that Rudy was an experienced boxer and maybe the Mariner needed some compensation to confront this proverbial Giant of a man and that is just another rumor I heard, if I'm not mistaken and when the Mariner got out of the water for I was told later that he couldn't swim and panicked our freaked out and grabbed a 12-inch knife from inside his outboard motor powered skiff and climbed back up on the dock and started hitting Rudy with the blunt end of the knife across his chest back and forth, according to an eyewitness and then plunged the knife into his chest and Rudy saying that you stabbed me in his broken German and allegedly the Mariner said that I told you that I would someday or something of the sorts and so the Mariner was arrested and spent a few years in San Quentin and then out on parole for a lesser charge then  premeditated or first degree murder and the Mariner I've heard said that the police were virtually congratulating the Mariner, for putting Rudy out of the heroin business of which he has been or was being investigated for after the death of at least a couple of anchorouts on Richardson Bay.               After around 3 years the Mariner was paroled and is living a quiet and peaceful life in a houseboat and Sausalito California and the apparent contributing reason for the light sentence was that the Mariner pleaded self-defense and said from what I understand that Rudy attacked him with a board first and knocked him in the water and then in self-defense got out and return Fire by stabbing booty in the chest of which he died from his injury shortly after all and or was declared dead at Marin General Hospital here in Marin County California. In the end Rudy's floating docks with all of his Salvage Goods piled on them disappeared with his death and the Mariner never went back to living on what was left of the dry docks, after the Sausalito fire department was sent out by the then mayor of Sausalito named mayor Dunphy of which are local park is named after him and had an elite Force of firefighters go out at low tide and set the massive dry docks of Blaze and I'm sure the smoke could have been seen from outer space and what an environmental hazard and disaster and cause of pollution and did it at low tide so was no fireboat could get to the dry dogs to put the fire out and this happened some years before the Mariner tide is 100 ft or more Tugboat next to what was left of the dry dogs, above water of which was still massive and lived on his boat there and helped accommodate people to live out there and tied up next to the dry docks.                           And there is another interesting story according to the military man and as his employee or partner in the rental business, told me of Rudy's buried treasure, from all his drug dealing and Rend collecting from his myriad of anchored out boats that he had collected and buried all his money and whatever Treasures he may have collected such as watches and rings and Jewelry and buried them underground near shore in a place across the bay from Sausalito on Richardson Bay and a place called strawberry and buried his treasure somewhere in the vicinity and the military man told me the area that Rudy Homer buried his treasure of which he was asked by Rudy to take a walk while he hit his treasure after taking a motorboat across from gate 5 road which is just outside of the city limits of Sausalito.                                  .
