Straw if your character sold everything he owns and felt if your character likes a fine hat! Depends on your character. Leather? There are period examples, but I have yet to see a period example of a leather tricorne - although I am not an authority on leather GAOP tricornes.

I just registered for the Encampment. Am I in? What else do I need to know? I can't be there till late on Friday. Does that mean I can't get over to the island?

Aye, the good folks at pirates of the treasure coast are running this! You may have seen their booth at PIP. In addition to selling pirate goodies they are also event folks. But they have limited spaces for pirates at this one . You need to sign up under the 'pirate registration' part of the site and they are going to see how many people they can get in. There are ferries and such other things involved in getting to the site. Diosa Now why didn't I see that? Duh! Thanks Diosa! Just sent them a registration.

Looks like there may be an encampment? I know this is short notice, but does anyone know if and how I could be involved?

Just wondering what technique is used to brown the lock mechanisms on firelocks. Is there more than one way or one really good one?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - and Nice kits! Man, my self imposed title of "The Diana Ross of Pyrates and Privateers" might just be in jeopardy! And no, I'm not a cross dresser! Not that there is anything wrong with that. Remember Diana Ross used to change outfits between every song she performed? So... Yer lookin good mate (in a manly way).

For Drake's, I need new clothes (not a problem) but t costs money - to go to Va, costs money - what am I to do??? Diosa, you are correct not enough weekends.

Man! That sounds like fun. Only problem for me is that Drake's Raid in St. Augustine is that same weekend. It's closer to me and would cost a lot less to attend.

I second that...

Hobbes just may be wondering if Mission is real.

Drinking a Sam Adams, finishing up a few things - dang gotta drilla vent hole in the matchlock tomorrow morning - oh, and pack everything - see you all tomorrow evening!!!

Is Tori "Mad Sally" Baur, her husband "Ol' Chumbucket" John a member of this forum? THey were on Wife Swap, a goofy show where two families switch wives for 2 weeks. The pirate family was well, let me say uh, different. Really something to behold.

May I add my site to the Weapons category? Ivan Henry Trading Company
