King's Pyrate

How many buckets of dirt does it take to get to Oderlesseyes Cove from yours? eagh eagh......Looks like ye was gettin a start! Too many buckets, I am afraid....perhaps I'll hire some lads ta dig for me....lol Which way be the Spanish Main? The signage is a great idea! LoL... "A Mash Unit fer Pirates!" eagh eagh... OOOO does kinda look like the sign on MASH. Ye mentioned Hurricane..How bad was it? lots of wind and rain...blew down some branches.....lost the roof to my boucan...I think the three weeks with poison ivy was worse....makes me afraid to go back outside...lol

I needed a different hat style for the St. Augustine Pirate Gathering...and I needed something quickly so I took the $18 hat I loan my son when he goes pirating with me. and reworked it to this It was very easy to hand shape......I stitched on either side of the fore peak......worked fine. Now I have to find Patrick a new hat...lol

I have the white tree lights under my canopy...they look great and give just the right ambiance like a dimly lit old pub......I could not stand the blinking one but these are perfect. All daytime shots and the project was temp. stopped by the last hurricane and a bad bout of poison ivy but I'll get back to it soon. Pirate Yard

I'll post some photos when she arrives......can't imagine she won't be greeted by the Pirates of St. Augustine, Crew of the Black Heart and Brothers of the Coast.

It was a pleasure to see you and your group again.....Diosa"s charity is dear to my heart...I am glad to contribute to the cause. It was indeed a great event with lots of fine pirates. I talked with some Bling Pirates from one of the West Florida groups who were impressed with the historical flavor of the event and swear they will tell their groups how much better authentic events are.....The committee is already working on making next year's event even better....one improvement being investigated is making the event more accessible to increase access for the general public ...that should improve vendor sales. Let us know when you make your next raid on St. Augustine and we will try to meet up. Best Joe

I have posted more photos on my myspace site. A part of the pirate raid on old St. Augustine, I was not able to take photos but we had a parade from the Fountain of Youth to the Old Redoubt where two opposing pirate groups moved down St. George Street with opposing groups quarreling about the treasure till we reached the Plaza where another battle was engaged for the public to enjoy till we parleyed and split the treasure chest which was filled with gifts for the children watching the pirates. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...albumId=2730062 I can hardly wait till next year which promises to be bigger & better.

Did not have a lot of time to take photos but here are a couple as promised, Here is Tiger Lee and me Hurricane, Dosia, Capt. Mayhem, My wife Barbary Bett, Tony (Our middle son) & Myself...some of Pirates of the Coast & Pirates of St. Augustine Maiden's Pub...early in the evening. Many Pirates attended the Captain's Meeting and there was an outbreak of sea shanties....We did a pub crawl afterwards...if the rest of the gathering is like today it will be a great event.

Hurricane, Tell your Bride to look me up at Captain Mayhem's Camp on Saturday and I will give her a couple of my novels to support her Cancer Team. Best Joe
