So that there isn't any confusion, I've decided to change my name slightly, from Master Studley to Master Sully. I believe I acquired the name Studley several years ago (PiP 2003 with the Pyrates of the Coast) from the large amount of piercings "studs" I had in my face, as well as my love of picking up heavy things. Could also be my way with the women. Somtimes I get strange looks from clients. They aren't sure if they had booked a pirate or a pirate stripper because of the name. Anyway it's a fresh name for a fresh new year. Hello again to old friends and new ones as well, this round is on Sully!

My cousin in England has been researching our family tree. While going over the charts on Christmas, I find that I have an ancestor, William Turner, that dates from around the early 1700's. Wonder if he was a seagoing man? Hawkyns

I've noticed that the Pub loads extreeeemely slow for me today - anyone else? The upper banner loads same as ever, but the content seems to just lag for 30 seconds or more before pupulating the screen.

I don't know where this might belong, so I'll put it here. I recently wrote a multi-page sort of "book"-esque thing about PiP 2007 and put it on my website. When I did this, I noticed that I now had several scattered pages concerning pyracy on my website and that, yes, there were the definite elements of a complete new page. So I mined some old posts of mine (from another pirate forum website) and slapped together some new pages and created a pirate jump page for my website. You can see it here. There's some scholarly sorts of stuff and a bunch of more or less fun stuff (like the PiP thing and my much beloved 1000 Word Do-It-Yourself Pirate Report). Note particularly …

Well I've just gone on account and I'm hoping to find a crew around British waters to serve with. Been knocking around living history for a couple of decades but this is the closest thing to modern I've done so far. Got lots of dumb questions to ask so if I annoy you I guess it'll be the black spot or flying lead'll be my prize.

Rumba Rue is, as far as I am concerned, one of my absolute best friends. My life would be lesser if she weren't a part of it. I love you, Rumba. Thank you for standing by me, despite my foolishness. Knowing you, I am graced. Thank you for believing in me. Now, keep reading my stories, dammit!

Yep as the title of the thread says, Registration has closed for six weeks due to no one around in the Administration area to monitor the spam. Sorry, but we Moderators have no control over the Registration. So if you were wanting to join, you'll probably have to wait until Feb. 2008. Rumba Rue

Well having been away for awhile I have returned without remembering my old account information. I am a pirate geek and have been for some time. My inner pirate has emerged prior to 2003 but fully emerged after the POTC trilogy. I am currently working on my own personal pirate personality and person so that I can at least break away from this said pirate. I make port in Long Beach, CA as I have found out many pirates hail from this region of California. Hoping to get involved with some pirating groups as my own personal pirate personality character soon! Arrr?

Ahoy there :). Just popping in quickly to say hello, and to introduce myself. The name, for now, is Toxicadia. I live in New Zealand, and am a very big fan of real Pirates, Anne Bonny being my most admired one. I started off with Blackbeard, but something about Anne just captures me! Anyway, this looks like a great site, thanks for letting me in. Drink up me hartys, yo ho :)

I have been a part of pirates in Ft Meyers as well as Key west and am new here on these forums. Being young and new I did not have a sufficiant name until tonight (I live in the Conch Republic state of Key Largo). Here a party is common as it is everywhere else but a pirate party among friends is also very common. anyways back to the topic on hand, I now have a name and that name as it has been given among my peers in a real pub experience (bearing in mind I own a 18 foot hobie, 21 foot center console, a 25 foot chris craft which was recently "acquired" and a 40 foot vintage ketch which have all together been acquired for under $200) which I first disagreed with due t…

My name is Larry AKA Lars and I am a piratical enthusiast marooned, as it were, in San Antonio, Texas, home of the Alamo. I am a lifelong historically-oriented person focusing on naval military history, and dabbled in the SCA and at being a Rennie, as well as living history for the English Civil War. My love for the GAoP has been around a long time but is now making itself felt everyday. After a recent one week trip to the Caribbean for my honeymoon, I really got to experience the open sea for the first time. Completely enchanting! I am always on the lookout for good books on pirates, especially contemporary first-person accounts, having read Exquemelin 's book and b…

I am so glad registration opened up, we have been reading the boards for months before PiP (which was our first pyrate festival) but we're not able to post until now. I figured I would start with a quick hello before running off and posting elsewhere because I have been reading many of the posts here for months, but no one knows me yet! And a quick thank you for all of the links we used from here to get our garb together this year!

Permission to come aboard just sounds too navy. I am a new arrival in the forum here, and figured I should post in the Avast Ye section. My home port is Tampa, and I try to get out to take pictures at the local events. If you like a pic in one of these galleries, click on it again and you get the large size. Florida Pirate Festival 2007 photos John Levique Days at John's Pass 2007 photos Sample of Pirates I've pointed the Canon at. I have half a mind to head down to Key West this weekend, but I still have to arrange lodging. High-speed internet access is beyond a must, which is limiting my options. Any advice, pyrates codes, or off the bulkhead remarks welco…

hello all, allow me a quick introduction. I am Dutchman from Blackbeards Crew based out of Hampton, Va. I have been lurking for about a year on the site and due to a shift of positions amongst the crew have taken the roll of pressgang master. Part of the assignment was to get the crews name active on the boards again. I look forward to keeping you all up to date on our activities and hopefully meeting many. -dutch

Ahoy mates. I'm a new member here and hope to do a bit more than trolling through the posts. I've been on the account for about a year and I'm looking to attend a few more events in the mid-Atlantic region during the 2008 season. I enjoy the "Living History" experience and I'll be checking the "Events" calendar often. I have a decent "kit", some hand-made navigation equipment (Octant, Quadrant, Astrolabe, Nocturlabe {Nocturnal}Cross-Staff, Traverse Board, &c) that I can reasonably use/explain, and a desire to do something. I'm not necessarily looking to join a crew right now , but if you have a berth open at an event, please keep me in mind. Regards, David
