Wal, I had high hopes of being able ta live vicariously thru them photos, but it said they is still not availible. I am truley sorry ta have missed it . I have already started making preparations. I will have ta go thru hell and damnation, but I WILL be thar this year. Good luck with the techno troubles. We'll keep checking back.

Wal , I could not slog thru all tha post. I just wanted ta say that me favorite song be " The Dark Lady" as performed by The Shantyman. It can be found on his disc called 'Pirate's Life'. Me favorite shanty be "Ned's Shanty" written by Mike Price and found on the Blarney Brother's disc- 'A Fine Line Between Ambition and Delusion'. Bottoms up me lads.

Ahoy thar Piratemanic. That thar song is sung by numerous bands each with slightly different lyrics. A few examples can be found on : THE CORSAIRS -the black disc; THE BILGEPUMPS -Greatest hits Vol. VIII (they refer ta it as 'The Derelict') ; JOLLY ROGERS - Pirates' Gold (also 'The Derelict'). I hope that might help ye a little.

Wal, Sante Claus brought me the FM disk. I must say. It is a great addition ta me collection. It's great ta learn about all tha other people who like tha same kind'a music.

Wal, I just read all tha posts. Whew!. Me head hurts. Tha original Question has been sliced up well. I learned years ago ta look , don't get caught, then go talk to tha women. They generally only bite if ya ask nicely and have a good supply of Capt'n Morgan's. I notice a woman's clothes and how she carries herself in them. A confident woman is VERY apealling ta me.

Me resolves ta : git more rum, plundar more, show less sympathy for stupidity, and recapture me otha ship.

ARRRRRRR! Good one.

In tha last ten years I have only heard it refered to as garb at tha SCA events, while tha Rennies I met call it kit or outfits. Meself, I like Iron Bess' "m'rigging" I might have ta adopt tha one as well.

It looked so tempting. Oh well, I will put it on me X-mas wishlist.

Thank you all for tha information . I have started me hunt for them books. maybe in tha next port.....

Aye. I must say thar is never an end. I have been working on mine for ten years now. I also hit tha second had and thrift stores. I have only found a few good deals (steals) at tha antique stores. I am constantly looking for everyday things that have tha proper "look". Another source for some good ideas is No Quarter Given. I have gotten a couple good pieces from their advertisers.

Ahoy thar Ace. I thank ye for tha tatoo pic. One of me scallyw...er, shipmates was planning on using Depp's tat and customizing it for his back or shoulder. I will let you know how it goes. It might take him a while ta get it. Thanks again,

Ahoy thar Captain. Tha sight of tha firing is great. I have only fired me pistols an a friend's rifle. I am looking in ta possibly creating some custom pieces for meself this winter. thanks for tha updates.

Ahoy all. I just wanted ta add me 2 dubloons worth. I just started on a vest of pieced leather. If it works out, I plan ta attempt a Capt'n coat. Me navigator suggested leaving tha arms where ye can remove them in tha warm summers and put them on in tha cold. I have put together a few other leather items. If ye use tha "rough out" side, it tends ta give it tha rugged look. Me biggest challenge was getting a machine that would go thru several layers of leather and not snap needles. I got an old 1950's era machine that works as long as ya take yur time. There were many good suggestions. Thanks to ye all, I have a couple more ideas ta get worked out.

Wal , I will pass it on ta me shipmates that might be interested. Thank ye.

Aye. them both are good bands. I went ta me local hottopics store, but they didn't have tha disc. I had ta go ta mall. Every one makes way for tha pirate. Hehe . Maybe its tha hat? As fer tha disc, I ordered it and recommended them ta stock it. Thanks fer tha news.

Ahoy thar agin Milady Silver. Bad tidings I'm afraid. Seems tha rabble I knows did not know about yur Faire for King Richard. They promised ta git back in touch with me if they find out any thing. I wish I had better luck for ye. By tha way, a HEARTY thank ye for tha rum. Good rum jus be tha thing for me.

Wal' now, Miss Silver. I can says that be a new one to me. I know sum land-lubbers up that direction. I will contact them and get back with ye. Mean time, bottoms up.

Say thar. Would tha Bone Crew be heading back to TRF in November? I am currently trying to resupply me ship for tha journey. Tha more tha marrier.

I enjoyed tha show. I have it on tha DVR. Nows alls I got ta do is get it on to a tape, or wait for tha series DVD ta come out. 300 year old cursed pirates were a nice twist. Ooops, me bottle is running low. I have ta head out.

Maybe, I don't be know fur sure. I knows thar be german and dutch from me mum's side. Any how, me grand pappy has been cutting and working stone since tha 1930's. Me pa also be knowing a lot about tha gems and minerals. I will get back to ye on it. By the way, here be a couple bottles of rum from me stash. Pass em 'round if ye please. I be heading back to me home. Fair winds and smooth water. Reddrake

Well, Capt'n. I am familiar with the Aquamarine. However, I afraid I don't be knowing tha rest. I will inquire of it with me grand pappy. Perchance he might have some answers.

Those pictures are good. It is great to see far away sites. Might be able to venture to those ports in the future, as soon as I can appropriate another ship.
