So my wife and I are going to Fort Myers tomorrow, and we're going to leave the baby with his grandparents and sneak off to Key West for a few days. I've only been once, and that was for PiP, and while I remember a bit of the places I went, I can't remember where I ate. Part of that was following a bunch of people to a restaurant and never learning its name, and part of that might be rum-related amnesia. In any case, I want to know some fun places to go. And I thought, Why not ask the fine folks who have invaded Key West every year for the last decade or so?

Ahoy there, mateys. Can any of ye' brethren or sistren recommend a day cruise. My first mate and young crew member are lookin' to leave all landlubbers behind and sail with some real pyrates of the Caribbean. We'll stop in San Juan, P.R., Aruba, Curacao, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas. I have seen a pirate ship in Aruba, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas, but they seem like party boats, not pirate boats. Any information? Has anyone been on the Lord Sheffield Pirate cruise, in St. Maarten? Or the Jolly Pirate ship in Aruba? They both sound better than the boats in St. Thomas. If anyone has been on both, a review would be very much appreciated.

I'm interested in finding a boat that will be sailing this summer for an extended period of time (May-August). I am new to sailing and hope to learn this summer. I am a very fast learner, physically fit, a hard worker, and not too bad of company either! If at all possible it would be nice to be able to work to cover my costs (e.g. food while out at sea)... I am not concerned with making a profit, other than learning to sail. I cannot afford to pay to be aboard. Please, if anyone has anything or suggestions on where to find something... let me know!

Well, I just got back from my cruise on the Disney Wonder... and by "just got back", I be meaning some time last week. The entire journey, including the drive from D.C. down to Fla, was amazing. We stopped over at Myrtle Beach for a night. We left in the pre-dawn hours and our GPS took us on a strange and somewhat scary adventure through the coastal back roads of South Carolina. You know in movies how you see a dark scary swamp with lots of spanish moss and water all around and then there's the one run down shack sitting by itself...? And then some guy in a top hat and his face painted like a skull come out? Yah, we saw that place. A few times. Seemed to keep going…

Ahoy, shipmates! I just returned from a business trip to Charleston, SC, and had a wonderful time! I wound up organizing an event at "The Buccaneer", a local restaurant with a pirate theme. It was an excellent evening full of tales of Vance, Bonnet, and Blackbeard and the history of Charleston! If youa re ever in the Charleston area, I recommend a trip down to the old town area and an evening of food and drink at this place! I was there for St. Patrick's Day and had a great time at $3 a Guinness! If you want more info, check out their website - http://www.thebuccaneerrestaurant.com/! Blackbead

Hi: I'm wondering if there are any cruise lines that do pirate-themed packages, prefereably on actual sailing ships. I'd only be interested in such cruises if they were targeted specifically at an adult-only demographic (which counts out the Disney cruises). Perhaps a couples-only cruise? If anyone knows of such cruises, please let me know. Cheers, Hester

While I served my time in the governors U.S. Navy, my ship docked about a mile off the coast of St. Thomas. The word by the captain is, "We are here for a few supplies. No time to stop and visit." So, here I sat basking in the sun with a one cold "sympathy issued" beer for a one-day and an AWOL dream of a short swim to the coast of St. Thomas. The water was beautifully blue and I could see the bikini clad lasses lying on the white sands of the beach. All dressed up and I just can't go! To this day, I am still unfulfilled. My goal is to set foot upon that beach, drink margaritas and rum, and dream of the golden ages! Okay, my apologies. I will now step down from …

Yes, I need to know how many months (average) building a ship lasted in the Age of Sail... I know it might depend on the ship's size, but let's say a frigate... or a sloop of war... something average.

You just can't beat being behind an oar! I wish I had more pics out on the water, but... I was kinda busy rowing! It was a really windy day. I'm surprised we were even able to make any headway against the wind. But we had 12 people on the oars, so we were able to do well enough.

Took the weekend off with Madam Grace and we stowed away on board the F.D. Crockett. She is a 65 ft seven log buyboat built in 1924 to haul produce and goods up and down the Chesapeake Bay. Built in Poquoson, VA we headed south to serve as the flagship for their annual worboat races. Cap'n John turned the wheel over to me as soon as we left the creek, which floored the hell out of me. Just two pictures. one of me on the wheel and the other in the rack. yeah, plush accomodations. We made home in the cargo hold for the weekend!

It's been 5 months since we booked our trip that we finally get to go on this weekend! We are going on an overnight sailing trip on the Schooner Brilliant out of Mystic Seaport in CT. Although we have not yet gone on the trip, some of the blog posts I have read about it seem pretty awesome! I'll post the pictures when we get back- but I already think we will want to do it again! Anyone on the Pub do this trip?
