  1. I am sure that this has been said elsewhere,but... Can we organize some smaller scale alternative(s) in our local areas as something of a fundraiser for FOFT? I realize that I haven't made it to the event since '09, but I am having withdrawals at the thought alone of not getting there this year. I am even living in The Sunshine State once again and being this much closer to Cayo Hueso was a major factor in the decision to move home. Any thoughts on how to keep this event viable? I would like to do what I can to help. Cutter The Red Herring
  2. Just wondering about the possibility of trade blankets for the 2014 event. Since we just moved home to Florida very recently, we are not in a good position to set up as full merchant/vendors, but we are unpacking some of our handcrafted items and we would like to make them available. Should this be allowed, and profitable trade come our way, we would be glad to share that good fortune.
  3. dis t'read a bit old now, but I t'ought I might ask me questions 'ere, as dey seems ta be related... we now live full time in our RV and it is how we will be travelling down to PIP 2014. I know that there are no hook-up on site, but I was wondering if there are restrictions regarding entering with and parking an RV in the parking area. I do seem to remember one or two back in '09
  4. http://www.sdmaritime.org/festival-of-sail/ A very interesting series of circumstances find the Lady Gingerand myself in the Port of San Diego just in time for the Festival of Sail event. Though not specifically a pyrate themed event, we wondered if anyone from the Pub may be in attendance..
  5. Zeewolves: Crew of 3... Cutter & Ginger, and one more to be announced Haven't been able to attend since '09, so please let us know if we need to make more formal arrangements. Seeing as we will be Florida Residents by then, we have no excuses for not attending this year.

    Pirates in Paradise 2009

    A photodocumentary of that Glorious Event we call Pirates in Paradise 2009
  7. http://www.plankhousecrew.com/events.html The Marcus Hook Pirate Festival event gives way to pirates and all activities involving swashbuckling, scavenger hunts, local food vendors, live music and entertainment, face painting, a wide variety of crafts and more! Come and join us for a Family Night Spaghetti Dinner the night before and watch the pirates set up their encampments! This meal is cooked by Blackbeard himself! Fun for all ages.

  14. Thanks very much for your purchase. I am sending the book to you today. My Lady and I are in the process of paring down our possessions for a long overdue move back to La Florida... and a move onto our boat! So, lots has to go. This evening, I will get a better list together, and post it here to the Pub. As mentioned I have many books on Boatbuilding, both history and techniques. Lots more on homebuilding, cabinetry and general woodworking... all looking for a good home. I will keep you posted. Fair Winds & Following Seas, 'Cutter (Michael Darch)
  15. The time has come for a major Change in Latitude... To expedite this process, I am divesting myself of most Worldly Possessions. The Book Collection will be the first few bits of this valuable flotsam and jetsam are currently available through barter with the Amazons... http://www.amazon.com/shops/islandcutter I still have MANY titles to list... lots of books on Pirates (of course), many books on Sailing, Boatbuilding, Woodworking, and Home Repair. You don't get much for selling books on Amazon. I am more interested in seeing them go to good homes. Look over the titles, and feel free to contact me privately if you would like to get a special "package deal" on several books that I could ship out in one box, at a very discounted rate. The better and more valuable books will be listed once I have had a chance to say my goodbyes. 'Cutter
