Maybe you're not holding your breath long enough...

did you put tab A into slot B?

Try depositing 25 cents.

It works when I try it. I'll keep watching and tweak it if necessary.

Okay. Everyone quit your whinning. Here's my contribution to the event.

Silly Girl... monkeys can't count...

A great big HUZZAH to the men (and women) of Searle's Crew.

Well Done

Pictures to follow

Thanks for the encouraging words.

Doesn't alcohol repel water?

Got two bottles of homemade sangria to keep me dry!

Happy (belated) Birthday!!

Si. One sweet and one spiced.

We need 24 feet front to back, and 15 feet side to side (counting ropes).

Will you send me $600 so I can buy Rosetta Stone and learn to speaK Spanish in two weeks?

I'm bringing two jugs of homemade sangria...does that help?

If the white and green slops are 36", I'll take them.

Searle's and Drakes are similar. Both have period correct encampment, a black powder battle in the streets of St Augustine, and more comradery than should be allowable by the law.

Watching all the tourists running around in our 81 degrees, trying to find a room in the overbooked hotels because of all the cancelled flights.

Guess I'll go sailing again this weekend.

Great event. Went today (friday), between the raindrops. Met up with Doug from Menendeze's Men, and The Wench. Going again tomorrow to see the rest of it.

Long. It doesn't itch when it grows back.

Wheel or Tiller?

Slops (Pirate leisure suit)

Bunk or hammock?

Not to worry Silkie. A little rum makes one...

uh, makes one... uh...

...damn I like that stuff.

Anybody seen my Gold Wedding Band?

Is an "Honest Pirate" a contradiction of terms?

Perhaps there is "Honor among theives".

Willie Wobble has found my ring and returned it.

HUZZAH!!

Bo'sun

(if a Bo'sun handles boats, what does a Cox'un handle?)

Rack or Strappado?

I would say that if you had to choose between the Pirates in Paradise / Fort Taylor Pirate Invasion in Key West or Searl's and/or Drakes Raid in St Augustine,

Key West would be the longer of the two, and therefore, more chances to have fun. Where else can you live inside a civil war fort, cook over an open fire,

crash a parade in a Model A Ford....

I have been walking (and scootering) around key west armed to the teeth (flinlocks, swords, knives, blunderbuss) for 5 yrs and never had a problem.

...never had a problem other than you being blind and driving a golf cart in the parade.
