   Beyond the Golden Gate! 1 2

   We sailed out underneath the Golden Gate bridge and out onto the open sea... what a spectacular sail!!! It was beautifully clear day with warm weather and rolling swells. Black dolphins leapt from the water in front of us, seals swam alongside looking for treats, and flocks of various waterfowl flew, swam and dived around us. As always, we were armed to the teeth and fired on the Hawaiian Chieftain on our way out of the Gate- This produced a very loud, very shrill scream from one of the Chieftain's passengers- At least we THINK it was a passenger, as we've never known the crew to scream in high feminine cries when we fired on them before. Although I suppose there is a…

   On the weekend of Fri. through Sunday.. Fort McHenry will have it's usual celebration of the famous battle . There is a little happening on Friday, with the troops moving in and setting up the camp. Saturday is the big day. There are soldiers all over the place. All sorts of activites and stuff for the kiddies too. The day ends with a big fireworks celebtration. It isn't the biggest event in town, but, it is very very fun. Watching the flag raising is really special. It's more than just hoisting a flag up a pole. Anyone who can make this event will enjoy it. If anyone is planning on attending, give us a holler. We would love to see you there........ The Capt.

   I will tell you, lads and lassies, that I count meself fortunate in that I have had the distinct pleasure of attendin' ALL of the Festival de Piratas since their inception, and no finer a Pirate Shindig is to be had on any of the Seven Seas. The first year, the Festival was held at the Snake & Weasel Pub in NE Portland (no finer a fittin' name for a galley full of sea dogs !!) which quickly met it's capacity and the party spilled out into the streets *luckily, the neighbors were of a partyin' mind as well....arrr). The legend continued the next year as a larger forum was needed to hold all of the Bretheren that showed... at the Medicine Hat Lounge and Concert Hall..…

   Saturday night, the 23rd of August, I took Captain Kora Roberts and her beau to the Festiva de Piratas in Portland Oregon. The pub itself was all decked out to look much like an old Tavern, which honestly I don't think was much of a stretch for it. The crowd was wild, willin' and well-dressed, almost everybody there was in their pyrate finest! The show started with Broadside Johnny singing a collection of old Sea Chanteys and firing up the rabble. Next came the Dolemites (hey Kora, correct me if I'm wrong, but it WAS them, next, wasn't it?) and they ROCKED the house with some raunchy sea tunes including one about Lizzie Borden where they lit half the stage on fire!! GREA…
