  1. In the cramped quarters aboard ship I think very few women could maintain a disguise for long as a male. The few known female pirates were definately the exception rather than the rule albeit in Hollywood you'd think they were a dime a dozen and all of them somehow Captains. Yeah! and I'm the King of France!!!

    Watch out France!

  2. A member of the host crew found a knife on the top of the trash, we told him it wasn't ours but I said if he didn't find the owner I could use a knife, he gave me the knife.

    I traded drawings for needed items. Poles for the "Hide". Sword belt & cartridge box. Looking to do more.

    Was given pewter goblets & tankards (not PC but usable after hours) for "The Hide" by sever friends.

    Very Valuable assistance with numerous pieces of garb. (thanks Lily & Cap)

    I am sure I am forgetting some things, I'll let you know what more If I think of them.

  3. I could be wrong but I believe that the black blanks were at more readily available to reenactor for some time. I still see more black blanks than other colors but as to that being historically accurate I wouldn't know. My two cents should makes things as clear as mud for you. :lol:

  4. I have a beautiful Deep Forest green velvet ...yards & yards of it ...I can't ever see Fionn dressing like this and me...well, I am just too hot ...I mean too warm for anything more than linen.

    Hmmm ...Maybe a barter item that ...hmmm ...although I loath the idea of giving up my beautiful velvet I have had it for at least 10 years and have not used it yet ...many yards of it too. Hmmmmmmmmmm

  5. fíorchaoin fáilte

    So it is not French but it is possible that you may know some Gaelic having born in Brittany ...now which dialect is another matter all together. lol

    Welcome! (looks like we both understand English)

    Enjoy all that the pub has to offer, there is a plethora of information, companionship and fun to be found here.

    Again, welcome!

  6. I have taken to leaving my gear in my car.

    Or in my garage.... :D

    Yea that too. Note to self: Don't buy equipment that you can not transport in the civic ...still need that roof rack.

    i've got silkies stuff to! in the overflow shop in Richmond.

    Wait ...what am I missing ...there should be the poles, ridge bar and ridge posts, and the ropes ...what else is out there that I have left ...and who has what?! I am guessing the ridge pole and posts are at Dutcheie's and the posts and ropes are at Sterling's ...if there is more than that don't tell me I may never miss it ...I am just happy to have my cutlass and parasol in my possession after so long. lol

    EDIT: I am also missing a very good canvas drop-cloth. ;)

  7. Tell Mrs Foxe ...not that she doesn't know this already ...FANTASTIC! I wish I could order a set but ...I suppose I will have to actually make my own if I want some. Just beautiful the pattern, the work, the fit ...BRAVO!

    The likelihood om me making my own ...well ...it is unlikely right now.

  8. Ack Silkie, trying to get back into the wife's good graces ...**wicked grin** amongst other things...ahem...

    John, I did not say that these indiscretions were recent. With that lad being as old as he is I dear say it was well before you were married. Additionally, it is highly unlikely that the missus is ever about this establishment nor would she speak to most of the like found here.

    My apologies dear John, I would offer to speak to her of the matter but I am well below her station and guess that she would not wish to speak to me.

  9. Hell, I'm still stuck on the "fruit of the loins" (not loom) bit! Good God, Sterling! Ye are bloody damn OLD! ;)

    ~Lady B

    It means children and what does age have to do with it?? Not quite sure I follow you here

    I do not speak from experience, rumor has it that the goode Captain Sterling has been "at it" since he was able to be "at it" and his sons are many. As a close confidant to the captain I an say no more.
