Greetings one and all. Thank you all for the intrest you have shown for the upcoming Searle's Raid event! I have some news that needs to be passed along.

Ahoy! I have returned safe and sound from Searle's Raid. I have plenty of pictures to share as well as a few tidbits. Hurricane and I arrived bright and early Friday morning to see a camp already well underway in construction. We set up tents for our crewe throughout the day and settled in. Not much later we saw our visitors from the white north, Mickey and Kate Souris, Callenish and Salty Pots along with Wee Hammish! Poor Kate was suffering from the horribly long drive so I insisted the rest of them take care of the set up and leave her to rest (or socialize, call it what you wish). As the day progressed more and more people arrived. I am not sure what the final tal…

By the authority vested in me by the first Lieutenant, I hereby share the official Great Lakes River Pirates schedule for the 2009 season. Look for our fleet of six boats, cannon, swivel guns & small arms along with our "honest" businesses, J. Henderson Artifacts & Black's Coffeehouse at all of these events.

Wayne, IN August 1-2 Pike River Rendezvous; Kenosha, WI August 7-9 Pirates of Payneton; Burlington, IN September 19-20 Kohkohmah & Foster Encampment; Kokokmo, IN October 2-4 Mississinewa 1812; Ma…

This is an event in St. Augustine Florida in earlty March. The event is hosted by Searle's Buccaneers, the direct information about the event can be found ON THIS WEB PAGE which hasn;t been updated from last year quite yet... But although I wasn't there last year (I wanted to very badlly), I doubt much would have changed for this year's coming event. I have a flyer for this year's event at home, i will take a look at it tonight and add any details from that here for those interested. While I can't guarantee I am going yet, this event is pretty high on my list of hoping to make it to.

Though not strictly a pirate event, i was wondering if anyone else was planning to attend, or if anyone has been before? Being in the hampton roads area, it seems shameful to pass it up. Plus, by the looks of it, it might be quite the multi-period educational odyssey( and a bit of fun to boot)!

I was sick and missed th' October sessions but I have a question about this year's scheduling: 1) Is is possible to schedule th' Rum Tasting so it will not overlap with any of th' weapons classes, preferably AFTER th' weapons are all stowed? I ask this for last spring th' Rum Tasting was going to over lap with th' Advanced Black Powder, however we got lucky as that instructor failed t' show and th' instructor for th' earlier was kind enough t' cover for him and we opted to give up lunch so we could all go t' th' Rum Tasting after lunch. Otherwise we would have had to make th' most difficult choice in a pirate's life: Rum or BOOM? Also do not forget to inform th' instr…
