Welcome aboard Cap'n Tuerie. Yes, images are necessary as it were snowing this AM. The crew needs images to stir the imagination. Monkey John - If ye wore an eyepatch would the High Sherrif of Hyde recognize ye? Being a free-lance freebooter me self there always seems to be a welcome regardless. I just try to stay out of the way during the staged events and cheer on the loosing crew.

Aye. We sometime forget just how far flung our brotherhood is.

Careless standing or straying underneath a load of cargo or while swaying out one of the ships boats and noticing a line starting to part. Captain goes aloft to the masthead to spy out a particular ship or landfall, the sailor accompanying him with a telescope slips or looses his grip and the Captain grabs him. In Mutiny on the Bounty a below deck scene where cargo shifts during a storm. Officers and sailors are imperiled trying to secure the shifting cargo, could setup a likely scenerio.

Monkey John - Welcome aboard Sir! Big doings on Ocracoke coming up in two weeks. Google- OcracokePirate Jamboree Jas. Hook

Jib - Christmas isn't that far off. If these will be a gift for yer Pirate Queen, I wouldn't delay too long in placing an order due to lead time. Jas. Hook

Aye Pegleg... it be said that the underside of the daisy be not as pretty as the topside. Here's to another turn about the Sun.

Unhappy

Jib - The Misses was sized up and ordered a set o' slops from Lisa (Scarlet Scarab) at Hampton and picked up early this month when at Red Mill. M'lady likes 'em.

'appy Birthday to ye Sir!

Stynky - A lot of kind statements have been made that I'm unable to top. Thank you Sir

An office discussion and clarification came up yesterday regarding the proper corporate logo. Once the proper logo was decided a question was raised if we should be using the one with the circle R (registered trademark) at the end. The question was resolved by stating that it was International Talk Like A Pirate Day and that the Arrrrrrrr would be fitting and proper.

Well Pegleg, are you going to model it for us???

If possible start a grove of white oaks on the plantation for future use. 75 - 100 years isn't long if you're a tree. It's a shame all the mature damaged trees from Sandy were just carted off, many to be chipped up. I'm sure a lot was salvageable for public and private ship restoration projects.

Daniel, have ye seen the 1998 Frenchman's Creek (Tara Fitzgerald and Anthony Delon) to compare it with the 1944 version? Jas. Hook

Tarpauline

Banket

The character of Pew as played by John Cleese in the Python romp 'Yellowbeard' was however... quite an exception.

Patrick - Aye, but for the sailorman you might want to look at their Monmouth cap line. You could also see my favorite for Monmouth caps, KnitKriket Historic Knits. Kristen has already made several my lady and I. Jas. Hook

One of the best figureheads I saw was on a sailboat that was moored and being restored at a dock in Mystic, CT by the Main Street drawbridge and not at the Seaport. The figurehead was of a naked woman holding an artist palette and brushes with a Chow dog at her side. As the expression goes... there in lays a story. I wish I had a photo of it. Jas. Hook
