Arr! Thank ye. And a bloody good New Year too!

Reenacting sounds fun but mostly just for the fun of it. Thanks for asking. Would be willing to travel perhaps a couple of hours. Depends on frequency of meetings. Further possible.

Just found out it will be June 3-4 2016.

Great! Thanks so much. I appreciate it!

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping to get out there this year! Much appreciated!

Thanks. Missed it since I went to the Sterling Renaissance Faire "Pirate Invasion" that weekend. Will have to remember for next year!

I'm seeking info regarding the Blackbeard Festival in Hampton. I'm fairly new to all this so any info provided would be great!

• Are 2016 dates set yet?
• Is there a good hotel within walking distance of the festivities?

Thanks!

Living here in the Rochester, NY area. Any ships looking for crew? Anyone wanting to start a crew?

Oh, and I be from the U.S. Upstate New York to be more precise.

Thanks, me hearties, for welcoming me aboard. Thanks for the advice, Elena. Me website now appears in me signature. Just gotta figure out how to get a picture link there! In response to your inquiry, I be a teacher pirate by trade but me real love is writing also. On me site you can see some of the poems I've written. I guess I'm also the crafting kind as I've built a couple prop cannons, 2 ship's wheels and 3 gibbets in me hold (in landlubber terms I mean me basement). Have also had some little sprogs create videos for me web site. All can be seen at the site.

With Halloween approaching I thought it would be a dandy time to post one of my poems from my new book. It's about Halloween...and a pirate!

Surrender the Sweets!

I’m a thieving little sea dog,

the meanest ever born,

and I demand that you surrender

your stash of candy corn!

I’ll also snatch your Cracker Jack,

your popcorn balls as well,

take away each taffy

and creamy caramel.

I’ll confiscate your crunch bars

and force you to give up

your licorice, your lollipops

and peanut butter cups.

I’ll make off with your Milk Duds,

your bubble gum cigars,

and last I’ll hijack happily

your hoard of Hershey bars.

You can keep the apples

and all that healthy junk.

But hand me all the candy

before your house is sunk!

Be glad it’s only once a year

that I become this vicious brute.

But it’s Halloween and I’m a pirate

so give me all yer loot!

Ahoy mates. I'm new round these parts and still gettin' me bearings. I'm interested in conversing with them that thinks pirates be a thunderin' cool topic! I love the history, films and whatever about pirates. Even got me own web site if ye cares to check it out. I writes funny poetry for the polliwogs and sprogs. Check it out if ye be interested. (www.broadsidebill.weebly.com). Looking forward to gettin' to know folks around here and sharing our piratical enthusiasm!
