Hear! Hear!

Anne Coates-Sharpe - Jacksonville, FL

Ivan Henry is a very wise man.

How forgiving are the measurements? I have to make a good set of stays before I can get my measurements with stays on, I have been looking for assistance with this as I have no craft with cloth at all, it could take a while. How long does it take to make, so I have an idea of a time frame to shoot for. I am going to order one, just have to have the particulars down.

I'd like to help with that in a more active way for next year, if you want to contact me and give me a few clues as to how to make my contribution a tad more effective (I was a bit lost this year, but am excited to try and do better next ).

http://grocerythai.com/thai-charcoal-stove-p-856.html I went home and had to have one, we have had so much fun learning to use it, with Sansanee's help with recipes and such via e-mail.

#49 is wearing my hat, so she must be me.

List me with Mercury again, if ye please.

What part of the body is 'the documents'?

I forgot possibly one of the most important thanks, and I had made a mental note to add it ... thanks to Callendish for the hot showers, next to coffee, the most critical requirement for keeping some of us human.

Great shots! Enjoyed meeting you two, Paula is such a great lady!

Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for a wonderful week. First, Brig, for telling me every year how much fun she has had and making me want to play pirate. William of the Mercury Crew for inviting me to cast my lot in with them. Fayma, I have coordinated a large event or two in the past and herding pirates has got to be way harder than herding cats, it would not have happened without you. Sansanee and Vintage Sailor for letting me feel useful by cutting their vegetables. Israel Cross for showing me how to put the buckles on my shoes. Shay of the Keys for letting me tag along with her during the week. Elizabeth and Mooseworthy for making me laugh ( in a good way ) on Saturday ( Israel and William get some credit there, as well ). Sealkie for letting me help out a little setting up the Hide. A big thanks also to the many others whose names I have not yet learned, for kindnesses great and small, this newbie had a wonderful time and I hope I get to do it again.

Posted a few, for them what wants 'em.
