Maybe these are less sailors and more adventurers, like Mehitabel was.<br /><br />I had to google 'capers corybantic'. (I'm guessing there aren't too many people or cockroaches today who wouldn't have to google 'capers corybantic'.)<br /><br />It leads to <a href="http://www.donmarquis.com/readingroom/archybooks/past.html" rel="nofollow">a classic bit of Mehitabelism</a> that includes the following:<br /><br /><i>we would rather be rowdy and gaunt and free<br />and dine on a diet of roach and rat<br />than slaves to a tame society<br />ours is the zest of the alley cat</i><br /><br />I think that may very well describe the owners of Mehitabel, the sailboat. Maybe I'll get to meet them soon.<br /><br />And I think you once said you don't care much for capers, but you needn't worry. These are capers of a different sort, I think.
