Bringing another snotty into the mix...well done! A hearty congratulations and all the very best!!

Cute and so's the mantua...

Many happy returns of the day...thank you for all your help always..

A very happy birthday to ye Mission.... ...and no, he'll never be legal...no matter how many times he claims he's been pressed into service.

Geeze...even I could have seen that coming.... but then I have also seen that mess Maddogge calls a hammock... slovenly, slovenly....

.........hhuummmm.....you might be right.................i dont remember lolol....i was ..distracted...didnt care about the price......lol ....NEED PICS OF THAT!!!! No he bid $12 and btw, that would be ...ahem... my money....

Oh I like this one... good friends, my sister and a snotty... aye I'm very fond of Tyn's ear... ahem....

Ah that delightful odor when one lifts the lid of one's sea chest only to find one's mourning coat still soaking wet from the squall... ugh... and for some strange reason one of my waistcoat's smells like a mistress of mine....**wrinkles nose** must be lus... I mean... love...

Wishing ye the very best on yer birthday.

Cannon? Cannon? there was a gun there and I missed it???

I think Matt qualifies for a FB slot... makes fine swords and eats before the rest of us...

Damnation...I need a new hat now! Always remember the captain is only as good as his crewe. They are the ones that make me look good...they are also the reason I need the Green Fairy...ahem...

Hard to say as being with family/friends is always a special time no matter what the event. But to jot down a few ... Meeting new folks... Having William Red Wake there... Being in the camp during the storm... Listening to Maddogge and O'Keeffe's tales from the Dinner Impossible shoot and eating the Turtle Stew, damn was that good... My bitc..I mean... charming sister finally showing up.... William's version of Moses coming down from the mountain to smite the Israelites when he went after Mission, the Mercury surgeon, during the auction.... actually being able to take a nap until our bloody surgeon woke me up and slammed a block of ice on my head to help with the migraine... Being a human barometer all freakin weekend... I believe it was Mr. Cross that said on the trip home..."New Tee-shirt...'I went to PiP and all I purchased was a person." Maddogge's comment..."Well if it isn't Sterling and Tin...." The Crewe dinner and always coming back to see the camp filled with friends and laughter...

Glad to hear that things went well on the vendoring side and that you had a terrific time of it!!

No that would be Wendel

Oh and...ahem... a special thank ye to my sister Rose,...choke...choke.. fer making me, of ALL people, a slave owner... ...can I set him free now????

Many happy returns of the day! and many, many more to come

And for all them what fell asleep on guard duty, there will be a flogging next year!!

And for all them what fell asleep on guard duty, there will be a flogging next year!!

I would like to take the time to thank folks as well. First to our hosts the Bone Island Buccaneers for inviting us all down once more to play in their backyard. To the Park Service staff for giving us the opportunity to do our thing and prove that pirates are just as good as any other time frame out in the reenactor world. A special thanks to Kip for stepping into Harry's shoes and going beyond the call of duty to make us feel welcomed and at home. A great big thanks to Fayma and Haunting Lily for all their hard work, not only running the camps in the fort and on the beach but also for months of paperwork well ahead of the event. Haunting Lily, ye worked yer arse off taking care of everyone on the beach and helping us all to be as comfortable as we possibly could. To every crew member that stepped up to the plate and went above and beyond the call of duty with all the camp responsibilities, including the newbies such as Gentleman Scotty, Smilin Kate, Galen, Island Cutter, Peter Blackheart, Anne Coates-Sharpe, Shay of the Keys, to name but a few of you all... To Tony, Morgan, Fayma and all the shutterbugs, who make us all look so pretty... To all the other captains, commodores, viceroys and quartermasters who stepped up to keep the camp duty roster working, put on a safe and fun battle and keep all the rowdys in line ... we had to prove ourselves this year and with all your help and the excellence of your crews we did just that... To Rats and Dogge who helped make the last battle an event to remember all in itself... To Dogge, Constable and Dutch who helped keep us safe... To my Mayan Mistress, Diosa, and Cascabel for narrating the battle. Tis about time we made the spectators part of it all as well. It was grand to see them having fun and being well informed. and to the Archangels, including our pressed men.... the captain is only as good as his crewe and you all are the best team out there...without all your hard work there would be no Archangel. And special thanks to Silkie, Cross, Grace, Dutch and Constable, without your help the snotties and I would never be able to even get down to Key West. To Lily and Rats for watching my most precious cargo, Phlegm and Luggie, during the squall, while O'Keeffe and I watched the camp... And last but not least...to Grace for licking my toes and Kate for the new shoes ..without yer help I don't think I would even have been able to walk across the battlefield let alone run after Maddogge. My hat is off to one and all and with heartfelt and the most sincere thanks... Yer most humble servant, Sterling
