Black Deacon Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I be trying to get into next years volunteer list for the only true tall ship in the Houston/Galveston area. Thought I'd post the info on the ship here. The Elissa If only the Royalist woould want to come play in warmer waters. Here be her Specs -------------- "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty well preserved piece without an even a kiss your hand, but to skid across the line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, smelling of powder, shouting ARRRG!!"

Bilgemunky Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 <drool> I love Galveston, and I loved working as volunteer crew on the Denis Sullivan. To work a tallship IN Galveston? <more drool> Alas, it's too far a commute from Milwaukee. Still, Galveston is top on my list of future homeports, so maybe I'll be in touch one day!

endkaos Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I will definitely have to stop by the next time I'm out that way. I wanted to go out two weeks ago when I was in Houston, but me Dad being in the hospital I didn't think he would be to keen on me looking for sails while the docs contemplated making him a peg leg pirate. But I felt the pull of the sea. Landlocked as always in Arizona. ~Tori Like any unmanned ship, a novice sailor will eventually steer into the wind and then in circles.

the Royaliste Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 "Hmmm, might just be in the waters thereabouts, but it'll be over a year from now......I've sailed the area in other vessels, 'tis fun, but gawdawful shallow nearby..."..*looks o'er the rail, seein' alla the grass.*....

Black Deacon Posted November 19, 2003 Author Share Posted November 19, 2003 There are some very shallow waters in the area being as Galveston is one big sandbar. But the channel is clear all the way to kemah and clear lake. I would love to sell the idea to the Kemah Boarwalk on a REAL Pirate show next year. They do a Buccanneer Days where I do a Comedy pirate sword fight show. I've been trying to talk them into a real pirate stunt show. -------------- "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty well preserved piece without an even a kiss your hand, but to skid across the line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, smelling of powder, shouting ARRRG!!"
