Many thanks to Red Handed Jill, Capt. Hayden, Ransom and Chainshot for making it possible ; firing the ships guns upon those crab infested British!
Wot a Hoot! Thar were many high lights to this festival and Being on the Aldebaran was definatley one of them.
The first day Eye portrayed Myself as Oderlesseye, as a greeter at the main entrance and later selling my shtick about having risked my life twice for the coin shared out as Booty. Dman assisted me in doing this right from our encampment... Kids and parents sometimes lining up for attention and a chance to choose between the sea story or the 'B' Story... I always have a lot of fun with that..
Thanx Red Handed Jill for the compliment on Admiral Crabs.... He was a new Character Eye unveiled at this event.. The High ranking Dress Of a British Admiral with his snooty nose in the air walking his crabs Spike, Sally, Sandy And Supper...Many a patron was entertained and one woman eye thought was going to die laughing..
The Admiral for a minute gig was the first time Eye sought to pull that off and it went well.. Next time Eye will add a communicay from the Fleet saying the fleet is trouble, being Under attack from the Spanish Armada.. Oh dear what shall we do???? What are your orders sir???? eagh eagh..
Meeting Quarter Master James ( a Real Gentleman He Is) Sorry, If Eye am ruining your reputation sir.... Was a treat to me.. Gun Powder Gertie and her side kick Black Tess were great companions and temptations on and off before and during the festival. Eye love you both dearly! Patrick Hand, Dman And His Wench Victoria,Ransom, and the rest You know who ye are ,are awesome shipmates...
The last High Light for me was being inducted into the TO7S . They literally baptized me into their great crew while at the same time the last cannons were fired signifying the end of the festival..
Eye think this festival has really cemented friendships Eye will have and Treasure for the rest of my life..
