Where have all the pirates gone

I've been drifting about the waters of Massachusetts and Rhode Island off and on for about twenty years. I've sailed sailboats, paddled kayaks and canoes and even noisily stunk about in the ocasional power boat (pardon the biassed wording...or don't, whatever).
Throughout my travels I've run into (figuratively for the most part) plenty of mariners. I have not found many with my outlook on boating (probably this is for the best). This I hope to change. I encourage anyone with an over developped sense of adventure and under developed sense of responsibility to post comments and links here. It would be nice to plan some sort of event or just exchange ideas about such things as:
out of the way anchorages where a vagabond such as myself could drop hook on a weekend without running into pain in the bum harbour masters and the like wanting to check fire extinguishers on sailboats or some other such inconvenience.
launch areas with neither lines and parking problems nor fees
mischevious plans and/or ideas
reports of mischief and harmless high spirits

I just want to see if there are any other ragged sailors out there or if I am really alone!
