Tis intrest'n ta see wot floats up outa da bilge when waters gets stormy...ehh. To much anger an broke'n dreams fer that one ehh....Tis a shame ta give up yer dreams o' youth...a shame indeed.

Aye Redd....me an the miss's stumbled across yer mate's shop when we were at the faire this year. We bought one of his shot glasses imeaditely (The first one ye pictured). Twer the last one he had and we be like'n it very much....

Avast mate...I believe Quill got it all straightened out. Had somethin' ta do wit the infamous tatoo incedent in the food court. They know we were not involved now and are very happy wit our ravage'n the pilgrims.

Ahhh...but even back in the day most sailors on private vessels were not concerned with proper ediquite. In the tropics alot o' sailors wore them without breeches and maybe even without a shirt. Gets pretty hot in the carribbean. If'n ya can't find a pattern, or your not so good wit a thread an a needle, shoot me a message an I kin make a proper pair fer ye. Jus' need yer waist an inseam measurements. Made a pair fer meself an now I hardly ever wear me breeches anymore. Slops are jus' so much more comfortable...

Beware the dreaded space herpies...

Many thanks Quill...tis a bountiful wedsite..

Ahoy mates, I be look'n fer some aid in aquire'n a proper old english / pyrate accent. Dose any of you scallywags have suggestions to recorded media, books or any online class that could help me out. I pick up accents rather easily but I do need to hear it spoken often to pick it up. Right know I feel like I'm practicing and inforcing improper technique. Thanks mates...

Arrrrr....'appy Birfday Cap'n. To a fellow brethan under the sign o' Cancer tis me 'oner te wish ye the best. Tis good to know ye indeed. A Toast to an amazing pyratical year ahead... Three cheers fer the Cap'n Hip Hip Huzzzah!.... Hip Hip Huzzzah!.... Hip Hip Huzzzah!....

Try now...twer post'n more photos an twek'n wit it.... Too much bandwidth....seems to get overloaded easily...sure seems like a pain try'n post pictures...

Arrrrrr....Jus' got me pics back..... Pyrate 4th Me 'opes ye enjoy...

...Redd I love yer sense o' humor mate...must be why I enjoy drink'n so much rum wit ye....

Arrrrrrr... .....Me ol' black 'eart be touched...(sniff)...me 'eartfelt thanks ta me kind 'earted mates. tiss been a grand year indeed an look'n fore ta an even grander year ahead....lots o' plunder'n an adventures ahead....

Aye mate...be like'n yer think'n... Gots da crew an da Cap'n n guns ta pull 'er off too... I be trade'n California fer the West Indie's in a second... ...jus' say the word ta, "shove off".

Happen to have brought home me tools wit me ta sees wot I kin do fer the Land Shark tomorrow. Alls I have right now is an old soldering iron I've used fer years work'n on car stereo's. It's in me tool box wit a coil o' solder. Not sure if'n it be hot enough fer wot ye need, but i'll bring it along an we kin give it a shot. ...I could use a good solder'n gun but I jus' dropped alla me greenbacks inta fix'n me truck an I be skinny fer a wee bit till I's recover. Damn mechanics... ... a bunch o' pyrate'n scallywags if ever I met...

Aye Cap'n....ye be rais'n me hair on me back o' me neck in anticapation o' the sail out... . Tis grand ta be leave'n under cover o' darkness... pilgrims twill nere see us a come'n... Now if'n I kin jus' hold out the week...

Redd ye be in me prayers mate.....may ye find smooth seas on the horizon.

Aye Cap'n...tis excite'n news,says I... Jus' say the word an me hand be available fer wot ere ye need. Got the whole weekend open and be available ta help out. Tis a grand spectacle fer sure...

Twer heavy breeze fer sure...twer trim'n sail all afternoon. Lots o' thermals that afternoon too... Sooooo much fun took me 2 days ta recover...still feel'n tired... ...here's ta doin it again.

Aquired me blue wool 13 button sailor trousers yesterday...with white shirt an black silk scarf...jus' about outfitted fer a Confederate Privateer. Cap'n have ya got any word on flat hats fer the voyage...kin we purchase them...are there different sizes available...or should we be think'n o' wear'n somthing different.

Aye mate...an lots an lots o' rum too... Drink'n rum an plunder'n be far better than argue'n, says I. Bartender!...grog all around fer this fine scurvy crew...

Depends on how well the pattern is made...I made a pair recently from what I found out was a really bad pattern...terrible fit :angry: ...had to scrap the whole project. The next pattern I purchased is mid to late 1600's and yes they are baggy and tight right at the knee. Felt realy funny at first but then I noticed once I whore them sailing the extra room was extremly comfortable. You can squat, climb rigging, pull lines, run, jump, just about anything you need to do. Now I wouldn't want ta trade them for modern tight fitting pants...Sailing anyways. Long story short, keep wearing them you do get used ta them. :)

Aye Redd...I must 'eartily agree. Ter go down in 'istory fer sure. Stumblin off ta sleep wit a belly full o' rum not know'n where half yer gear be an not ta be care'n either. A fine pyrate crew indeed...take'n me a few days ta repair an refit meself... An I must say I agree wit ye 'bout hike'n our broadsides or the windward gunale hang'n on ta the shrouds an drive'n through sea like Moby Dick himself....Ahhhhhh, I LOVE IT!!!! No fine'er place in da whole world ta be, says I... Already look'n for ta the next account... An hearty "THANKS" ta Quill fer pull'n the whole thing together... , an Cap'n too fer make'n it all possible... An the whole scurvy crew o' the Royaliste for a most prosperous account...Long Live the Royaliste, an may she always find fair winds an a follow'n sea...

Aye Cap'n...me thinks it could be the wifey's. Don't recall see'n her's when I got her packed up on Sunday morn. I be talk'n wit her later ta see fer sure, If so we'll pick it up come our next account. P.S. Hope the storm damage wasn't too severe an seadog's feel'n abit more seaworthy now.

Gotta agree wit ya mate, real fine program indeed. Been use'n it 2 year now an works wonders... :)
