I didn't know where else to post this. Anyway my buddy and I are looking to build a raft for the lake, put some pirate flags on it, that sorta thing. We don't really know where to start so I did some searching on the interweb and didn't find much there eather. Do any of you happen to know a site that has good blue print to make a raft, for a 3-4 men. I can't swim so it'll have to be a good one

Can't wait to go, I don't get to do it to often. Gotta book another battle sail on the Lady Washington because my grandson is going with us this time and he wants to be on the Ship that was featured on the POTC 1.

[please move it need be] I know it and you know it. The fact that we all LOVE the ocean, but we don't talk about it a lot in this pub. Well she called to me the other day so I took an hour trip to see her. Post your pictures of your ocean trips. This was on the westcoast in Washington at Ocean Shores near Aberdeen WA. Beautiful (the ocean over here in Washington has a REALLY strong smell of salt, the water was numbing cold as well in July mind you)

email me at: steve@pyratesway.com with "Gimme $50" in the subject line and I'll give you the secret information that might just win you $50 CASH, a free subscription to The Pyrates Way, and to have one special photo from pyratecon printed in the Summer Pyrates Way. It's sneaky and fun. . . thereby fulfilling 2 out of 3 prerequisites for a pyrate activity (if you spend the $50 on rum, you've got all 3 out of 3). Send me a note, mates!

Normally I would just send a private message but since this is a pretty big event, I figure if I would ask if the Royaliste is going to be there at the date of the Newport Tall Ships? http://www.tallshipsrhodeisland.org/ships.html I'm trying to figure out how I should get my time-off days from work, normally I'm up in Rhode Island for 4th July festivities, but the Tall Ships event is a week before.

I'm interested in finding a boat that will be sailing this summer for an extended period of time (May-August). I am new to sailing and hope to learn this summer. I am a very fast learner, physically fit, a hard worker, and not too bad of company either! If at all possible it would be nice to be able to work to cover my costs (e.g. food while out at sea)... I am not concerned with making a profit, other than learning to sail. I cannot afford to pay to be aboard. Please, if anyone has anything or suggestions on where to find something... let me know!

I just got my orders for a three year tour ashore in the Coast Guard's District 17 office (waterways management branch) in Juneau, Alaska. So, if any o' you Pacific sailors have the guts to sail north and learn why the Pacific is ill-named, give me a moment's notice and I'll guide you safely through the inside passage, as I've already got two years experience servicing the aids to navigation up here. It really is the most majestic waterway I've ever sailed. If any o' you have the inkling, I can pilot you through Peril Strait, including the infamous Serguis Narrows. I can take you past Dead Man's Reach, around Cape Decision, and to the wonderful Mount Edgecomb (the las…

Aye mates, for most lubbers, today was Tuesday, but for those of us fortunate enough and whacko enough to live it New Orleans, it was Mardi Gras! The Pyrate Queen and I made our usual voyage to Bourbon Street. We both commented that PIRATES seemed to be the most popular costuming theme this year. Aaarrgh, may our crew increase! :) Capt. William

I already have a bar in my basement, but it's not piratical enough for me. Everyone else seems to be impressed, but a few bits of swag and some seashells aren't nearly enough for me. I'm thinkin bout rebuilding the bar and laminating some jewels, piece's o' eight and various other baubles to the top, and I have a couple other ideas in progress. Anyone have any suggestions? Also, I'm tryin to think of how to make a piratical beer pong table Any bits of inspiration will be most appreciated!

Helllo all, I’ll be going on my first cruise this summer. My wife is finishing her MBA and my mother-in-law and her husband planned the trip for us, they’ll also be going as well as our kids (12 and 8). I’m looking for things to do and places to see while we are in port. We’ll be sailing on Royal Caribbean and our stops will be Nassau, Cococay, and Key West. I’m already planning on going to the Pirate Soul Museum and the Rum Barrel in Key West. If anyone has some points of interest they’d like to share I’d be very thankful. Thanks for you time and info, Gryffin

About 3 days ago, I returned from a movie job in Puerto Rico. I was there for a month. and even though the job wasn't my cup of tea, or rum anyway, my time off was pretty amazing! If you've been there. you know, but if you haven't, I'll tell you a little of what you can expect. Old San Juan was, and is, a walled city, dating from around 1510, and the walls and Spanish forts are still there. Being a U.S. possession, the 2 main forts have some nice park service displays, and since the forts overlook the Caribbean Sea, nice views. I was put up at the Carib Hilton, and the hotel is surrounded by Spanish gun emplacements. The first week, I was rather disappointed in the lack o…

I just returned from a week (my second trip) to Malta. I was there for a week two years ago. The trip was a deeply emotional one, and I left part of my soul there. I cannot recommend highly enough spending time there, but be warned: it is not cheap. There is so much to say, I do not know where to begin. I wanted to start this new thread to post some of my anecdotes, stories, experiences, pirate/corsair information, etc. The highlights of this recent trip were visits to the oldest man-made standing structures on the planet (1,000 years older than the pyramids!), a cruise on the Mediterranean aboard a 100-foot wooden gullet, a tour through the Inquisitor's Palace..…

I wanted to make something for the Pirate House project that did not cost lost of doubloons so I looked around at things I have that can be used for the project. I covered the speaker box with floor planking left over from the Galley project.. I picked up a mod podge box from the local craft shop for $4 and used the weather instruments from a a 20 year old hanging Wal Mart weather station. I used a craft store ship's wheel that I bought 8 years ago for $12. I wanted the wheel to turn so my grand children could play with it when they visit. I used an old ceiling fan to give the wheel movement. Here is the weather station with humidity, temperature, and barome…

After watching PotC2, I decided to find out if Tortuga was a real place, and if so, where it was located. I discovered that it is part of Haiti, a separate island just to the north of the main one. Given the volatile political situation in Haiti, I wonder whether or not Tortuga is a viable tourist destination. Are there any resorts located there? Has anyone here visited Tortuga? How safe is it? Cheers, Hester
