  1. You're most welcome :P

    Outstanding planning. One update to be made is the bushes shown around the edges have been removed. Sorry for the late notice.

    I will try to get measurements for you on Saturday.

  2. Believe it or not, when just hauling fer me and the snotties, I can actually fit everything in the durango(and on it)...(although now that I acquired some barrels will have to take the ram) But I help out by hauling things fer the crewe sometimes.... since I go to almost all the events, it would make sense fer me to eventually get another trailer and just haul crewe members' stuff as well... tis nice to have the fancy furniture, but in most cases I wonder if pirates would have all that stuff and why bother taking it off the ship in the first place unless yer careening her... now for our civilians some pieces would make a whole lot of sense... but perhaps not campaign furniture... right then, I'm being ar again

    Hey Dutch have you counted our barrels lately?

  3. GAH!  I miss all the camaraderie!  I had a grand time!  Now ...where to next?

    Well there are a few in between but the next big one that all of us can make with these folks will be Beaufort, NC. August 8,9, 10... be there or you will miss a swinging good time.

    Oh Oh Make me dance the Hempen Jig!!!! Please Please Pleeeeaaaase!!

  4. for being an improv job- i think the taxation skit went rather well. by the end of it i thought capt sterling and his crew were going to be mobbed by angry gas tax protesters- heck all i wanted was to moor my craft and unload my goods. but it did sound good in the distance with guns going off under the bridge and echoing off buildings.

    It did take one back a bit, the crowd was bloody loud and then started insulting us as we passed. I rather enjoyed it as it gave one the chance to better imagine what folks went through during the beginnings of our war of Independence. Who ever got them pumped up on your side, did a brilliant job of it...

    I have some ideas of how to "grow" that scenario for next year, incorporating both the Harbor... oh wait, best not give it away... will pm you privately when I get back from Port Washington...

    hmmm I rather like be told I "smell like a French dog!"

    Ok so someone want to let me in on this taxation skit seeing as it wasn't on the schedule. IT sounds like it was pretty good.

  5. Now wait just a bloody minute!  Wot did I have to do with lost pirate hunters?  I refuse to take the blame on that one.  I think...

    Aye but the buck/shilling stops with you, does it not? :rolleyes:

    Aye sir the Shilling does stop with me! BTW why should I want Pirate Hunters to find me and me crew? So the next time our paths cross Captain Sterling, I assure you I will provide something for which you can blame me! ;-)

  6. I can add a little bit more to keep you chomping at the bit.

    We are looking for Militia to man the waterfront docks to protect the ships from the pirates that will be invading. Also a Dock Master. PM me with ideas.

    An additional skit on Friday afternoon on the docks before the Grand Pirates Ball.

    The Mill Point Park Stage will become the Bunch of Grapes Tavern for the weekend. Complete with Bar serving Goslings Black Seal and Ale. The period Dinner Saturday night will take place at the Bunch of Grapes Tavern. There will be a colonial gaming table and tables to sit and eat inside the tavern.

    The encampment will be larger. Plans for the encampment are underway.

    Small boat battle up the river near the stage.

    I will add more as the plans become more solid.

    Your Humble Servant.

  7. Captain Sterling and Cheeky Actress,

    There is a possibility that there will be a fire pit sufficient to feed an army.

    Are you prepared to feed 100 pyrates? Not firming anything up but seeing if the exuberance for the fire pit can be taken advantage of...

    Dutchman tells me you are going to provide some video of your past

    attacks on unsuspecting victims. Any progress on that Captain?

  8. Thanks for kind words regarding our event Black Fox, Black John, and Silkie.

    It is always a pleasure to see you at the festival and look forward to seeing you this year. The festival this year is going to grow some more some new things are in the planning. I will share them as soon as they are firmed up.

  9. It was a darned tough festival twas. While I was off pillaging Hampton ta make room fer the hordes of pyrates coming in, one pyrate by the name of Black Fox snuck onto me vessel the Freedom Row and claimed it fer 'is own.

    Now after an entire weekend of cavorting and drinking rum ta catch 'im off guard I couldna roust him. But the howling winds of the impending storm finally chased 'im away so I could retake me own vessel. Those damn pyrates.

    But otherwise it was an absolutely fantastic event. It was great seeing everyone. And Black Fox next time lets make sure your schedule has enough time so ye can at least sail yer new found vessel!!!!

    Great meeting you in person Black Fox.

    I hope everyone made it home safe.

  10. The Pepsi Americas Sail event was an absolutely Grand and Glorious event!!!!!

    I would like to personally thank the Beaufort Pirate Wench and crew for the warm reception provided to the Cap'n and S'Steele upon our arrival in Beaufort.

    I would like to thank Duncan McGuyver and Nan and Dog from the Jury Rig Crew for all their hard work during the week of extreme heat and humidity

    Ben Cherry and DG for being themselves

    Captain Horation Sinbad and Lt. Terri Brown for making the event happen;

    Pirates of the Dark Rose for a great display at the encampment

    The Devil Men of Cape Fear for being themselves it's always a pleasure to work with Bill Halls Crew.

    The staff at the Beaufort Historic Association for maintaining such a great venue for a pirate encampment.

    And if I have forgotten anyone it's because I'm so stressed about gettting some work and doing back to back POTC openings and a Piracy 101 presentation at the Nauticus Museum in Norfolk without getting to recover from the Beaufort trip. So you can flog me the next time you see me:-)

    Your Humble Servant Cap'n Pern

  11. ::blows a kiss to Cap'n Pern from far off Southern Maryland::

    Alas...again...I'm working in Cap'n Pike's stead inking the masses.

    Drink one for me.

    B)

    ::Cap'n Pern accepts and returns the kiss from the Southern Chesapeak Bay::

    I drank several fer ya lass... But it's not the same without the purple lobster...

    I still don't have a tattoo but I was the poster pirate this year. If you like I can give you an autographed copy:-)

  12. I fear I owe several pyrates me humblest apologies. As the festival was arriving I was involved in far too many projects in preparation for the festival and neglected to visit the pyracy pub so I did not get your messages.

    I was able to get a traverse board and a cross staff made for navigation demonstrations. A rope ladder for seamanship demonstrations. And got a new hatch and a paint job done on my boat so The Cap'n & S'Steele had a place to stay.

    Anyways, Callenish Gunner I apologize for not getting back to you but I checked and did not have any PM's from you. I am glad ye made it and hope yer trip was successful.

    It was a Grand and Glorious festival even with the foul weather on Saturday.

    It cleared up in time to have a roust about in the encampment for good rounds of chanties and comraderie.

    It was great meeting all the new people that were there this year and look forward to seeing everyone down in Beaufort.

    Captain Jim-sib,

    What might a mate 'ave to do to get himself one o those there bottles? As one of the gunners on the Meka II and having fought valiantly against the Schooner Wolf in Ft Myers at the Lee Island Pirate Festival I think it would make a grand and glorious addition to me trophy wall. On second thought, I'd like to get two of them.

  14. Captain Pern Sir,

    Good to hear that the fest planning is well underway. I have been marking me calender and collecting more kit items to use while there. I may even be able to come up with me own tent if I knew there was space in the camp.

    And Pern - have ye heard any more about that little project we were working on in August?

    Willie the rumrunner :(

    Ahoy there Willie the Rum Runner,

    I have heard a bit about our project the Emerald Cutlass. It's not going to be called the Emerald Cutlass any more. I am not at liberty to provide additional info but it should be completed sometime around the festival, hopefully before. I had to go to a reshoot of one scene last week. There are a couple of reshoots happening still. By March it should go to sound production.

    I'll keep you posted as more info becomes available.

  15. Ahoy there!!!!

    www.blackbeardfestival.com has been updated at least with the correct dates. We are working on some additional updates with more recent photos etc. But at least ye can start planning.

    Other news Blackbeards Crew now has a website. www.blackbeardscrew.org. when ye get a chance, pay a visit there. I can take credit fer gettin' the site up and the way it looks. It's not perfect but at least ye all can find out a little more about us.

    I look forward to seeing everyone at the festival.
