Haven't read the books, though me best bud has read a couple of them, but I am a fan of the movie Master and Commander. I am currently on book 16 of the 26 book "Bolitho" series byAlexander Kent, which are terrific!

Me best friend and I are rapier fighters with the Mobile SCA pirate household, only about a 6 hour drive from Gainesville! We are also part of a pirate group called The Crewe of the Black Pearl, with members in Oregon, Washington, Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana! We would love to join up with yer group fer any events within a reasonable drivin' distance!

Definitely plan on bein' there! Hope Mapquest is still accurate!

Some great pics of the Flying Dutchman! Edited by Moderator - Disney legal hunting for those who post the link. However ye can share with whomever ye wish in pm.

Here's a pic o' me short sword: And a pic of me pistol: I also have a Schlager rapier:

Here's a couple o' pics o' me friend Sea Wolf and I at the Louisiana Ren Faire! Carousing with the Bilge Pumps after a performance! And mingling with some fellow pirates!

Captain Blackheart on Keep To The Code had this to say about the Pirate's Dinner Theater: I went to opening night of the show (public opening night) 12/27 with a sizeable group of people. I have to greatly disagree with the above review, regarding Wild Bill's. This show was remarkably better than that awful thing! Wild Bills had horrid food and the show was just downright boring. Now, the food at the Pirate show came in extremely small portions and I thought it was WAY too salty, but still better than Wild Bill's (I had chicken and chicken, by the way, since I don't like beef or shrimp). I sat in the next to top row of the red section, on the port beam of the ship. A good view. The lights in your eyes happen with every section, whenever they invite a lot of audience participation and light up the sections. Each section roots for the pirate of matching color, hence we rooted for the red pirate, Jack. I do think they could use a better sound system, so all the dialogue and songs are more fully understandable. The show was fun... not brilliant, but fun and about what you'd expect for this kind of thing. There was a lot of audience interaction, including a good use of kids in a number of spots. All in all, it's a fun night out. Not something you should fly into Southern California just to see, but if you're visiting Disneyland and/or Knott's (it's just up the street from Knott's), it's a good evening's entertainment, particularly if you buy tickets in advance on their website, where, last time I checked, they were much cheaper than at the door. If you like pirates (and we all do here, don't we?), it's worth seeing the show!

When ye go to the site, it shows a back view of the medal on which is engraved "RMR". Could that stand fer Royal Marines Reserve?

Here's a little somethin' that me son whipped up fer me a couple o' years ago!

New Orleans is just a couple of hours drive from where I live! Will have to see if me friend and I have anything goin' on that weekend!

I bit more about Tia Dalma: http://www.latimes.com/business/custom/cot...5,0,19779.story And here's a close-up pic of the voodoo doll!

I've got the bathtub poster hanging in me bathroom! A friend bought it fer me in New Orleans last year!

Jack Sparrow has an encounter with Tia Dalma, a voodoo queen, played by Naomie Harris! Fer more spoilers, check out the Spyglass section of the Keep to the Code website!

Me friend Sea Wolf and I were to get a personal tour of the shipyard where the Black Pearl was built by Russell Steiner himself! We were able to get closer than our news photojournalist friend, and we were taken into the shipyard office and got to see the plans on the wall! We didn't get to go on the ship because they were loading the huge anchors that day and it wasn't safe, but we got close enough to almost touch it! They told us at the shipyard that the Black Pearl would be displayed at Disneyland after filming! You can see pics in me friend's photobucket at: www.photobucket.com username: seawolf88 password: pirate Click on the Black Pearl up close album There also more pics in the Black Peal album and pics of the Bounty being refitted in the Bounty album!

Thought I'd post a little pic to whet yer appetite fer The Libertine!

Crap!! Well, our search fer a pirate pub goes on, I guess! Thanks fer the info, anyway!

I'll have to check out Trader Jon's! I live in Mobile, just an hour's drive from Pensacola! And me best bud plays hockey in Pensacola a couple of times a week and I tag along to watch her play . It would be a great place to go afterwards!

Don't know if ye've seen this little blurb, but here ye go: http://www.bilherron.com/cryforhelp/clippi...es-part-ii/497/

An article from Rye and Battle Today online: Glad to be a pirate of the Caribbean But film actor Jonathan Linsley is happy to be back in Bexhill ... for a decent cup of tea BEXHILL may have been cold and overcast for much of the week. But actor Jonathan Linsley is home from the Bahamas for a couple of weeks - and he's thrilled to be here. He has been filming the sequels to Pirates Of The Caribbean, starring Johnny Depp (as Jack Sparrow), Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightly and Geoffrey Rush. Jonathan is playing a character called Ogilvy, one of a band of ghostly pirates, and has been working extensively on ship scenes, lashed by wind and rain. "I am delighted to be back in Bexhill," he said. "It's great." He says he has missed home comforts such as a proper cup of tea and being able to nip down the shops. "The Bahamas is a very boring place to be honest, very dull unless you are into swimming and snorkelling and all that. "It is a very poor country, geared up for the tourists. After six weeks you have been to every restaurant and you have seen every pub. There are ex-pats living out there, all bored but trapped by the tax thing because they don't pay any tax there. They are all talking about what a good hurricane they had. "Its all a bit depressing really. The poor people of the Bahamas have lost everything on their end of the country." Having been reunited with wife Frances, Jonathan was quick to visit the Gateway Club in Station Road on Monday night. "It was just so nice to be back. You get these big hugs and pleased-to-see-you's, and this big generous spirit - it's nice to be welcomed backs and loved and stuff." He spoke about his involvement with the Gateway Club to the Disney publicist of Pirates Of the Caribbean, and as a result has signed photographs of the movie's major stars which he will soon donate to the club. His work on the film has so far all been at sea. "We were doing all this miserable stuff on The Flying Dutchman. Basically, every time we film we are on this ghost ship so it's miserable, always raining, always wet and gloomy, dark and horrible. We are always pulling ropes and being whipped. "Basically you stand in heavy rain while being filmed. They say - rain coming! and then you hear this hissing sound as the pumps start working, then you are all standing in the biggest monsoon you have ever been in. You get all wrinkly fingers and wrinkly feet, but now they have given us wet suits to wear under out costumes." He understands that there may be two or three films more in the future because Johnny Depp enjoys playing Jack Sparrow so much. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has said there is no reason not to do more. Then there is always the rumour that Keith Richards will make an appearance as Jack's dad. Jonathan's experience on the movies has been a good one: "Everybody is in the same boat, they are all working on the film and just getting on with it. We all get on very well, actually. Funnily enough there are only two American actors - everyone else is English. "Of course, they all have all worked together before." "I am still enjoying the glamour of it. When we got evacuated to Los Angeles because of the hurricane, they stuck us in a hotel called The Mondrian, which is where all the stars stay. "I looked it up on the internet and it said this was the most pretentious hotel in LA and that you have to be a megastar to get into the bar. Will Young was staying down the corridor from me, he was there promoting his new single and surrounded by entourage. "It was very nice to be in this hotel with people in their suits and headsets and microphones. "That sort of stuff is glamourous. You go from the chartered plane and get into the stretch limo and they take you to the hotel. You suddenly feel very grand. But then you think about going to work and standing there in the pouring rain, and it isn't that grand really. The juxtaposition is quite startling." Back in the Bahamas, Jonathan experienced the drama of a fire in his hotel, with safety measures leaving a lot to be desired. Since then there have been other problems such as theft from rooms, but it's the day-to-day life of the island which leaves him unsettled. "It's very expensive there because everything is imported. A bag of salad we would buy here for 99p is about £3 there. If you buy a two-litre carton of milk here it costs about £1.25, but there its six dollars fifty, which is about £3.25 for a carton of milk. These are the prices they charge tourists, but when you go to supermarkets the locals pay the same price. "Fruit and veg is in short supply, so they import a lot. For instance, all the watermelon comes from Spain. The wages are not high, so of course they are desperate to make some money out of tourists and out of our film. "If I had to be there and live on 100 dollars a week wages, I don't think I would survive." 14 December 2005 http://www.ryeandbattletoday.co.uk/ViewArt...ticleID=1285277

Well, the latest rumour is that the title of POTC3 will be Uncharted Waters. Guess we'll just have to see, eh? http://www.keeptothecode.com/2005/12/new-p...otc3-title.html
