Capn' Mac

Well speaking for myself I can tell you that it’s a matter or real life. In real life I’m not a pirate nor do I engage in pirate activity. I work behind a desk 50-60 hours a week and the majority of the rest of my time is spent raising my kids, paying bills and cleaning up the house and yard. Pirates simply don’t have stains from PB&J, Mac&Cheese, furniture polish, and Windex. I live in Denver Colorado, one of the most landlocked non-nautical places a person could get stuck in America. Not salt sea air, no sandy beaches, no pounding wind. So this leaves me with distressing my gear.

Now to be fair I try to distress my stuff in somewhat realistic was. I was just working on a new hat last night and added sweat and brine stains with steamed saltwater. If I need my whites to be grungy, it’s out to the back yard for some dirt. I don’t iron my clothes or keep them folded, I like to twist them and crinkle them and grub them up.

And to be honest I distress them because it simply looks better than something that just came off the costume rack.

A hail an' harty thanks ta ye all an a dram o' th' Black Stap for one an' all. Not heard o' this loverly concoction afore? It's a new discovery fer me an' I'm quite taken tho I know other's don't care for it a s much (http://www.internetwines.com/rws28978.html ). I'm quite fond of it thtough.

Well it seems a fine an' motley collection o' misfits here abouts an' I'm sure I can find help wi' a few o' the projects I 'ave comin' up. I jus hope I can offer help meself wi' any o' my specific interest or talent as well.

Now be there any finer port where a salty seadog can enter and righ’ away be greeted by two lovely ladies!?

Thanks ta ye both Lady Barbosa an’ Rumba Rue. Ye make an’ ol’ salts bones feel welcome an’ harty!

I’ve a bottle o’ Black Strap for whoever’s got a thirst.

As to our little corner of the interwebs, we’d be happy to knock out some creations for any and all. Something we’re going to be adding in the next three to four weeks will be custom pirate flags, hand painted on weather proof canvas! We have an small event with a pirate theme coming up and I’ll be making about eight of them and will post pictures when they are completed.

I call the landlocked port of Denver, CO home, stuck here high up in the rockies still waiting for an airship to carry me and mine off to the lands of the great Pacific Northwest again someday.

I am very happily shackled to my mate Annie for 10 glorious years this month! We’ve three housemonkies climbing around and two scurvy seadogs!

We play in the local SCA as there are now poxy crews to be had round these parts. We homebrew mead, soda, and cordials. WE both have a deep fondness and love of the sea and the brethren that call her home as well.

Greetin’s and well meet! New ta this here port and damn glad ta be here! A fine treasure trove of goodies yev got here indeed.

Hope ta be able to contribute in some small part mayhap. Been a poxy lover of the briney fer about fifteen year or there abouts now. Learnt a bit in tha’ time I have. Look forward ta learn’n jus’ tha much more here!
