I got distracted by the patches!

I couldn't be happier about the variety. Between the linstocks made by Master Chaaps and the bamboo arriving with the Fort Taylor Pirates, we'll have a great mix of careening/marketplace style improvisation. It also mixes up the light placement to provide low and high points of lighting for more atmosphere. Thanks to everyone helping out on this front!

I'm interested. Please keep us in the loop!

I also recommend a good dognose spoon. https://www.etsy.com/listing/185950994/17th-18th-century-dognose-style-pewter?click_key=afe2b24f128160d310c32d01ef24642ffee45c34%3A185950994&click_sum=c5100315&ref=listing-free-shipping-bundle-1&fbclid=IwAR0v4gdxlbeTizzGpSmLoglZ3uTnWEJaWc1Vv3jJfWkSurkyTV7tsSz4X64

I love the variety in style and color.

Welcome aboard!

I'm chasing some large, period, copper tubs for the dishes and I have lots of period cooking utensils, so I'll go through stuff and make a comprehensive list.

French continued to be taught among the gentry after English became the common language in England by act of Parliament in 1362. A lot of legal documents and treatises were written in French (even in England) well into the 18th century. French remained a strong language in day to day diplomacy and commerce so that even final treatises of the Spanish War of Succession were written in French. During the 18th century the middle class (in a desire to be perceived as 'refined') continued to teach French at home along with Italian due to the influences of art, music and literature in society. However, it was common for boys to be taught 'ancient' Latin and Greek, while the 'modern' languages of French and Italian were taught to girls. I'm not certain how this effects bilingual numbers among sailors and officers of the navy or further out to buccaneers, but if you study any etymology, you constantly see that word origins begin in French all the time. English as a developing language owes a lot to French.

I sent you links for a few more.

So many event choices in so many places.

Great picture of the crew! More pics!

Welcome back aboard!

I can't turn around without you purchasing more fabric. You'll need to hang out a shingle for a shop soon.

Welcome aboard! Raise a glass!

Thank you? heh. We're working with Rob on some custom lanterns for the Fort. These will be modified with a fe French artistic touches and color. Anyone wishing to donate can send $20 and receive one of the old, stock Pyracy patches in thanks. We've had three large donations so far and we're putting in lantern orders this week. The new lanterns will be unique to the fort, so there's no confusion about who owns what when we leave. Coincidently, participants are highly encouraged to mark the bottom of their lanterns with personal identifiers Thank you! It's like we come up for reasons to look things up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_gun

If someone wants to pay me to go to an event in Morocco, I'l go in chains.

Thank you. Thank you. I don't mind any redundancy in conversations on these details. It helps with information assurance. It's all good information. We should have plenty of room to accommodate the 'gross' use of your camp footprint. It's good to have lots of shade options against the expected heat.

Pyracy Pub Gathering 2024.

Please send me your tent footprints as you have them. Please include guideline space and awnings. There should be plenty of room, but it's good to know what will be in the mix.

I got a little light headed and giddy at the idea of an actual Watch Dog flag. Let me mull that over a bit. There are many more things we could use before that specific thing. Especially for Massacre Island. I'll send you a message about that soon.

"Where the hell is the Captain's Ste...?" Ah. Welcome back. It's strange to think that there will be three crew members of the 'Dog at Massacre Island. Long live the Dogs of War!

More pics!

Relentless! There will be so much seating.

More close-ups are in order.

Let us know what you need for clothing. Especially specific sized items like shoes. We'll help you watch for deals and finds.
