Just found out, due to family emergency, I won't be making it to this, afterall.  So be sure to raise a tankard or two for me! 

We'll sure be missing yer smiling face lass, but we'll do our best to keep CC out of trouble.

Aye, and may yer family problems all work out for ye.

"Old Maui" and "Flowers of Bermuda" are still on my list of favorites. And that voice....oh my....

His brother (and fiddler) Garnett is still recording and well worth a listen to as well.

Aye, Pynch be right. I've heard Garnet live. He has a rich baritone voice, and gives a really good concert.

Two more south central Pa. pyrates, says I. Me & Jim sail out of Yorktown.

INDIGOJACK

Ay, me & Jim will be sailing down from Yorktown, Pa., & staying @ the Radisson. So, we can crawl back to our room after the grand pyrate ball.

We went last year, and had a jolly-good time ( at least what we can remember)

See ya swabs @ the ball

INDIGOJACK

Grapeshotjoe,

I'm not sure the Royaliste fully answered your question.

In pyracy, it ment no mercy would be shown if the victim did not surrender ; no lives would be spared, and no chance of freedom

Ay, me & Jim be looking foward to a full tankard, and warm breezes, says I. And we'll probably have Mad Madam Mystique in tow.

But since it be so far off, Jim & I will be slipping down to Cancun in Feb. for a week of sun & Margaritas.

I be finishing up "VILLAINS OF ALL NATIONS" by Marcus Rediker.

It contains lots of tid-bits about why sailers became pyrates, and accounts of their tryals. Very readable.

everyones a critic

Who was criticisin? I was admirin' the caliber.

Methinks Bloody Mary be packin a 38

Ay, add us to the revised, revised, revised list.

Indigojack, Jim, MadMadamMystique

Methinks the added length of the rapier in tight quarters aboard ship would be a hindrance, and with one good wack you might break a rapier blade with a cutlass. So, I would prefer a cutlass in one hand, and a tankard of rum in the other.

Thanks for the heads up: I'll be watchin.

See ya @ pyrate fest, says I.

INDIGOJACK himself

Well, I can't speak for Sat. but Sunday was one beautiful day @ the Pa. Ren. Fest.

It was good to see Blenderwench, and Crimson Corsair again (Jim says hi), and got to meet several other pp members including PyratePhil.

The ale flowed like ale, and for the price of a pint of ale you could get a kiss. (Thats all i'm saying about that)

NOW ITS ON TO THE MARYLAND REN. FEST.!!!!!!!!

INDIGOJACK

(What? A pirate discouraged by rain? )

You know what happened to the 1715 Spanish Gold Fleet, and the final voyage of the Whydah.

Indigojack will be attending on Sunday , says I.

And ifn ye be calling me a fairweather pyrate, ye better bring your cutlass Sunday!!!!!!!

(Or, we might discuss it over a lovely tankard of ale)

I'd much rather drink than fight.

I received me new British heavy dragoon from Loyalist Arms this Thursday, and its just what I be needin for me maritime entrepreneurial

trade. Its size alone would make most lubbers turn tail & run.

I just ordered me a 4 reale silver cob from Sedwicks. This is half the value of a piece of 8 (8 reales). They specialize in Colonial coinage of Spanish America. Their prices are reasonable, so anyone can own a piece of history. Also, they have a section on Cob & shipwreck history-worth reading.

INDIGOJACK

Recently I found a gem @ Borders: A History of Pirates, by Nigel Cawthorne. Small in size and price-just $7.99, but filled with details of day to day pyrate life.

ARRRRRGHH, I love this stuff!!!!!!
