Skeleton Guy rocks and Ivan Henry has done it again!..

This is a video of our sharing our comments About Saving the Shawnee ! http://youtu.be/_SmC6BIfggM

Today a Radio Station has contacted us to do a story! This will snowball and give us the groundswell of support we need. We made the paper again too. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/holland-346614-city-council.html " Quote " Grant Slater Hello all! My name's Grant, and I work with KPCC, a radio station here in Los Angeles. I'm hoping to do a story about the Shawnee. Can anyone help me get in contact with Mr. Holland? Hopefully, I'll see you all at your next pirate protest! "

We attended the Newport City Council meeting in support of the Shawnee . Christine Lampe,Micheal Lampe, George Pepper,+ a few others, and myself spoke in front of the council. Cross fingers they do the right thing.. What we need is like an "extreme Home improvement show" only for this ship. Where is the Ty Pennington of Tall ships with a crew of a Hundred guys and gals with the know how to rebuild her in two weeks!

We went to Balboa Island by the ferry and chanted save the Shawnee holding our signs high and proud. We gave information leaflets to passer byers we spoke to and ask them to attend the Newport city council meeting which is tomorrow the 27th. We also had Press out in force. We had a few musicians with us too, so we sang some twisted shanties as well. Christine Lampe gets the credit for organizing this event. There were about a dozen of us at this rally. The Message was sent and received by the public in good will. After the rally, we all loaded up and went to see the Shawnee in person. Eye got to speak to Dennis Holland and personally thank him for his hard work on the previous ship he worked on where eye got my start. Seems the real problem is the failure of a community to come together and take pride in rebuilding a ship to call their own. ( Ironic too because it is a Yachting community!) Kinda like a community would get together to raise a Barn. Instead it is every man for himself and *F* the neighbor.. Society is in sad shape these days.. This story is a testimony to that fact.

So we protested !

Sometimes local Governments can become to far reaching in to our lives and jettison the most precious things we hold dear to our hearts! This is personal to me because Dennis Holland also restored the Spirit of Dana Point ( Formerly known as the pilgrim) which happens to be the first ship eye ever did piratical reenactments on. That day on the Spirit of Dana Point changed my life forever and sealed the deal as to why eye continue to do reenactments. I fell in love with Tall ships that day. A Ship and a Mans Life hangs in the balance as well as the legacy he will leave behind for children to experience sailing on a tall ship. Nautical Heritage matters and should be considered in the city councils short sited decision to force Mr Holland to remove the ship. The Ship is in a state that she would be destroyed if force to move due to structural issues at the moment. The legacy is that this ship when restored would end up at a maritime museum where children programs would most likely be instituted. If the city make this ship be removed from his property ..all will be lost. A real shame! The story is here : http://www.dailypilo...0,2736230.story A YouTube video of her history

This will be my fifth year. Space is a premium so there is no open ended camping on the grounds period or not. You have to be in a group to camp. And there are plenty of reenactors who come to this fest, so don't let "Camping" stop ye from showing up and being apart of the biggest Pirate fest on the west coast! There is a firing line on the quay for BP small arms and Cannon, however you must be cleared and attend the safety meeting to do so.

Eye found this web site and thought it interesting and appropriate to share here... All about the size of Cannon Balls http://arc.id.au/Cannonballs.html
