Jon i'll take one , are you going to be at searle's raid this year?
P.S. i've already sanded and refinished the table you'd never know unless you were at PIP and the lanterns have all been re GLASSED and i picked up another water bucket
Aye the illistrations that patrick posted is what i've been using to cover corks, bottles,needle cases,pipes, and many other things the needle hitching and grafting , and i like the books rivingtar has listed
Many do carry weapons i've found swords just get in the way , i've always gone as you've seen me at PIP or Searle's but then i may look more buccaneer ish
Sophia , that should read = willie and doug are both holding pikes
i think william made the big weapons of pokiness , pikes , we will be doing pike drills at Searel's and Drakes raid in St Augustine, they have a stash of these sticks for lending out in time of a Raid

Mission it appears that it is still light out so it was most likely sweet tea but as you can see the sun IS setting so the wobble juice is about to come out for some fun
neither Doug or william have a computer now william is working on getting another but i'll pass the word along and i can almost bet me next mug of wobble juice that they will join you on the beach buccaneer camp for that matter i'll join also i've already got cooking the pork over the fire down and if'n we catch some fish and lobster , WHOO
Capt Mickey, permision is not needed just a want to be there and enjoy, your tent needs to be period type canvas wedge is ok or a hammock, your garb should be close to 1668 or can be loaned to you, need to have your own eating utensils (i carve wood spoons)the cooking will be done by Melisa unless you have somthing special to cook yourself , food has been provided in the past , rum ,i can't remember seeing any rum there only wobble juice or nekid juice but you could bring some
Well the last time i had on ladies shoes ,,,,,,, but seriously, Sophia ribbons for laces is good or ropas , i do more of the common working folk and cook not captain so ropas or barefoot , I don't own boots
WOW what fun was had, well the wobbley one is back and William and Doug we had many stops for coffee and just to pry our eyes open , our drive wasn't very long compaired to most . it took till today just to feel normal again and the swellingi s going down in my feet , it felt so strange to walk on flat ground . thank you all you're wonderful
