It's late - not too late but the inky depth of the night sky and the Erie silence settling over this little corner of the cosmos, makes it feel later. "Who's barkeeping tonight?" I call out as I approach the Kate, hoping to find some other insomnolent preparing for a long night, rather then bedding down for the duration. "And what have you by way of contraband russian vodka? Only the good stuff, if it can be found?"

Ah, so many good cooks here. I am lucky, indeed!

There you go, dreaming up new bits to reenact at your next gig…

Oh, wow! I love how the gun emplacement came together - you do know I am trying to avoid buying another piece of equipment (i.e. 3d printer)… You are eroding my resolve.

Michael... I printed it FDM on my Bambu A1 mini... It took some effort (and some files and sandpaper) to remove all of the supporting "nubs". I painted it with Liquitex acrylics and then gave it (and the paper mache sails) a wash of burnt umber oil paint mixed with mineral spirits (let it set for about an hour, and then wipe off some of the sxcess)

And its definitely lighter than carrying stocks...

Growing up in Michigan I hated fish. It was always very strong, gamey is the best word I can come up with, or frozen. While living in California we had access to fresh fish on a regular basis and now I love fish (as long as its fresh). Went on charters a few times and came back with fresh rockfish/roughie/etc that went directly on the outdoor grill. mmmmm.... Arizona is a distance away from the sea, so not so much anymore. Once in a while I buy a frozen salmon fillet, but I miss the access to fresh sea fish. But yes your chocolate chip banana bread is a suitable offering!

Feast of the Pirates Festival September 13th, 2025 INCLEMENT WEATHER DATE September 27th, 2025 Belville Riverwalk Park - Belville, NC The Feast of Pirates was a three day festival held on Wrightsville beach in the town of Wilmington, North Carolina during the late 1920s. Tourists from all over the region, as many as 28,000, traveled to the port city. They had the pleasure of watching historical reenactments, boat races, competitions, and various parades. The reenactments ranged from George Washington's ceremonious entrance into the city in 1791, to Blackbeard's march to City Hall. Excessive alcohol consumption and public drunkenness during the 1929 festival, however, caused concern for committee members and other city officials. Nevertheless, it was the Great Depression that put the final nail in the coffin for the Feast of Pirates. Feast of the Pirates is brought to you by Wilmington Harbor Enhancement Trust, Inc. https://www.feastofthepirates.com/feast-of-the-pirates

Looks delightful, but unfortunately, I am a terrible sailor, and only eat fish if its haddock, beer battered, and deep fried (excluding the occasional sea-bug, drenched in butter). Should make long voyages a bit more complicated. Can I offer up some chocolate chip banana bread to make my refusal more gracious? One of my current specialties . . .

Wait.... just how many watches are there? -
Hey, this one I actually know.. Like well even. This is one of those rare tunes I can play without even thinking about it!
