callenish gunner

handsome work lad :) :) :)

i got that one for myself for twelfth night and i ordered another one froma fellow last week ....i'm worth it i also bought several kits last month that i put together last week ....i have a friend who is making me some QA stocks in faux ivory

just put together 3 of the kits this week they came out great and i had only minor fit issues with the trigger guards ....heated them over my svea stove and they bent easily quenched with wayer and buffed with rouge on the wheel ....this kit is a good beginers kit if you take your time now once i finish the inlaid thumbpiece they'll be finished and ready to go

i can honest;y claim that i love my pedersoli queen anne she fires so nicely and consistently!!!

as to wool in the tropics on land it might have been a bit on the warm side but out on the ocean it would have been considered ... also at the time of the GOAP there was a period of climactic dip that lasted into the early 1800's (a mini ice-age) it had begun in the late 1300's so wool was not to be ruled out

welcome aboard lass .....there be plenty to learn about the pyrate life in these waters ....take yer tyme and enjoy your stay ....ray!!! a flaggon of black rum if you will!!!!

had an assignment to write The sea swells and my feet are firm upon the deck With wind and spray blowing in my face The well worn line running out through my roughened hands The sheets bellying out, full of the awesome power of the heavens This day begins as have so many others With the body straining to meet the sea The bosun whistles to have hands aloft Unfurl the topsail and set the trigallions, we need speed to reach the lanes My mates are sensing the days peril ahead We all silently pray that our prey comes gently Six bells and there be no hail from aloft Our hands are busy with the preparations for action When at eight bells less a quarter we hear a cry Sail off the starboard bow four points The captains glass confirms the sighting “she be broad in the beam “ “and low in the water – a Spaniard “ I run for my cutlass and pistols the pair, I strike flint The linstock is lit, the slowmatch smolders The powder and shot is set to the ready And now the part that quickens my pulse, the wait As we close on the barque the halyards they creak We hard about and circle their bow, let black cloth fly My gun is the ready, the order comes to fire but a shot across her bow So I placed it but three spans off, and we can hear the men wail She stands and delivers with n’ere another shot fired She was ne’ prepared for a fight, with only four sixes and two stern swivels We boarded and plundered and found the freeboot There was coffee and molasses (forty hogheads) in all And rum, another thirty barrels more And a small casket of gold and three more of silver A fine days earning for the cost of a ball And the ready for providing for those back on shore The work of the transfer and the stowing of booty Makes the time pass quickly when counting the gain With shares in the business outweighing the pain We know that in tyme we most likely will hang My wife and the children will neigh starve today I live as a freeman of the sea and n’ere again slave I’d rather the rope than a slow death by inches So heave away lads and home to the wenches

would be nice to see some sort of additional promotional advertising done with addtional signage in and on the way to key west ...perhaps some promotion with disney coordinating the promotion of the potc films just a thought

aye a steak should be extremely rare ....(pittsburghed) wipe it's nose - wipe it's arse -knock the horns off - frighten it with a match and if you'd dress the wound it would recover within a week and i send them back until they cook it the way i want it or i won't pay for it

i'm looking forward to making some new kit ...i think i will order a few patterns soon just want to check the sizing specs with kass

welcome aboard ....hope ye enjoy's yer stay in these waters ... a flaggon o' black rum if you please mate

hendrix (PURPLE)

let's see ...............have been shot three times, each on different continent and stabbed 5 times .....and ended up silencing all but one of the buggers who did those deeds ....and that was a bastard who stabbed me in pittsburgh in 1968 and the coppers stopped me from doing him in

is suprisingly young enough t' be m' son and has a wicked sense of humour

aye fiddler stike up yer bow!!! i reel or an aire would do nicely lad c'mon lass if ye would .......

got it on tape and i'm getting the one that they are playing at 8 am eastern the 1934 version of treasure island with wallace berry and jackie cooper

my vcr went on the fritz!!! did anyone tape it ...and would you be willing to make me a copy???

here's another charater for a pyrate painting ... a young gunner's mate

cap'n pern do the sutlers in the encamment go throught the event coordinators to vend on site m' son 'n m'self were there last year and i have thought about coming down this year as an arms sutler

sounds like it could be a fun weekend cruise ...perhaps the lad and m'self will try to make the sail

watched it twice through .....excellent film!!!!! i will keep checking to see when it's out on dvd!!! and since all we have to go on were the official accounts brought out at the trials it's possible that there could have been a female crew member who was otherwise undiscovered ....sure it was added for the effect

for those driving the cost of gas will be the largest expense.... as for the camping if ye have period tentage staying in the fort is the easiest way to go ...as for eating, well there are several events thrown by the local establishments that are free to particpants and cooking in the fort is allowed and if some of us co-ordinate the tasks i'm sure that group cooking could be arranged....it sure is much cheaper to feed from the stores than from restaurants ...and if discreet i'm sure that even your private liquor stores would be ok ...as it was on my last trip down

patrick ye can speed up the process by burying the stick in sand and building a wood fire atop it and slow drying it over about 24-36 hours all to cool and then then hang to dry further it sppeds up the process by 11 1/2 months

welcome aboard lad any man of the sea worth his salt is welcome to share a pint in these waters and if you can handle a sheet or a bit of sharpened steel you can find berth in these crewes :)

welcome aboard lad!!! we see the family passion is spreading!!! enjoy a pint on me lad!!!
