The PyrateCon planning crew was in New Orleans this past weekend fer an early Talk Like A Pirate Day celebration and intensive planning and meetings! It was a very productive weekend, capped off by a visit to the battlefield in Chalmette where Sea Wolf and I participated in cannon practice for the upcoming Battle of New Orleans reenactment in January.
Other members of the planning committee took this video of one of the firings, in which I was in the vent pick position and Sea Wolf was in charge of the linstock. We have been members of the Louisiana Purchase Living History Society for several years, and the group has been an integral part of PyrateCon!
