ahoy all, dutch from Blackbeard's crew here. It's been a long time since anyone from the crew has posted so I'll share the recent news with you. The big news is we have doubled in size since the last festival with amazingly talented folks. In addition, our beloved Quartermaster (and crew founder), John Glass attempted to retire to lead a new venture within the crew. We revolted and retired his title to him instead. Cap'n Pern now holds the new title of boatswain, is in charge of the group and I am the new pressgang master. Billy Flynt has returned from his voyages onboard the Kalmar Nykel and continues on as events coordinator. The festival was a success with large cr…

A very simple thing this. All you have to do is add to the story, whether thats by putting in a couple of wordds or even putting in a whole chapter. I wish to see just how epic and long this story could become and i'll start you all off....

For those of you who are getting your latest issue of The Pyrate's Way, on page 28, you will see a familiar visage - surrounded by her crew. Blackfox was gracious enough to publish an article about myself and my crew and he did a bloody wonderful job with the graphic logo that he created for the article. Blackfox, everyone of the Kiss' LOVES the logo - it's absolutely wonderful. And thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for being willing to highlight folks such as ourselves. When our paths cross, I am buying you a round! Fair Winds Emerald

Well a number of us now have each other's addresses, so I'm wondering if you all still want to do the Secret Santa gifting like last year? If you want to do it: The Secret Santa is open to all Pub members who have been here for at least two months or more. Due to someone never receiving a gift from their Santa, that particular Santa person will not be allowed to join in again. Also, some of you didn't get your goodies out until well after Christmas, making some people unhappy. Please make every effort to get things to your secret person before Christmas. Names must be into me no later than Oct. 31. So that on Nov. 1, I can start pulling names and give all of you at l…

So I finally moved my pirate butt over to the greater Seattle area and I must say I love it over here. It's alot more pirate friendly, I can find all kinds of swag and ofcourse it's close to the water. Then I got the internet back and had to check the ol' forums. Oh man oh man do I have a lot of reading and catching up to do

Since we're on round two of the sketchbook journals, I was kinda curious as to who on the Pub keeps some kind of journal or diary. Is is GOP correct or mundane? Do you keep more than one? What kinds of things do you put in them (without revealing anything too personal, of course)? So far, I have four going. Computer diary — very personal stuff, written in dialogue. I picked a fictional character from one of my manuscripts to converse with. Sounds sort of weird, but it works. A small art journal 6" x 6", full of pictures, quotes, clip-art, snippets of stuff, art experiments, etc. A small, cheap (cost $1 ) ring notebook that I keep on our boat, to log in weather, water…

Apologies if this belongs in Plunder, I wasn't sure whether to post it here or there, but guessed here because this also has the "You in your garb" topic :) Seeing footwear is such an important part of pirate costuming (be it accurate or fantasy) I figured it could be fun to post pictures of our footwear here :) These are my old boots (who are now dead alas):

Greetings all... Got A question. I received an e-mail at my GoF site from some enthusiastic Italian Pirate re-enactors that are really interested in going to the US to participate at a Pirate event and are looking for a "recommended" event. So.... what should I recommend? Gasparilla? Pirates in Paradise? any suggestions? I would think that one of the larger events with lots going on would be the best.... probably not a small town, 12 pirates show up, kind of event. GoF PS I am sure they are all hunky Italian men... and will probably need some body to show them around....

I really need to update my pirate site as its grown unwieldy. I am trying to make the transition from a cobbled together HTML nightmare, to a smooth flowing easy to update site done in CSS. The end result is that the appearance and potentially flavor of the site is changing at the same time... I am not sure if its for good or ill, and would like some opinions. Here is the old http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/gofindex.htm and here is the NEW http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ I would like to think that I have a tough enough skin to handle all comments, so please, if you have some time, take a look. (so far, the changes only affect the front page) Thanks, in adva…

I was looking over Roy the Odd's Cutlass Resource post. The question came up about what do all of the pyrates out there prefer. We all know real pirates favored the gun, but what about us. What say you?

In the town of St. Michaels, Maryland, the local library will be holdin' a celebration of the tales of James Michener, and my husband is asked to prepare a presentation of pirate's lore relating to Michener and his famous book "Chesapeake." Does anyone have any stories they can share of Chesapeake rogues (be they ladies or gents) that the kind folks here might be interested in? Thanks for any input. Capt. Pete's Mistress
