I agree Lilly. The two things that have to be kept from the public are the two things that must not be together! The powder and the fire pit.

Happy Birthday to the man who taught me the skills needed for scuttlehatch ...some day I WILL win.

Can the fire pit be stashed during the day? When will we be using it?

Mornin. :) Having the powder near the hide will eliminate smoking in the Hide. The cooking area should be easy access to the Hide (hoping to have a table or two in there). 3.2 is looking better.

I like the second. keeps the crowds of the camping with only a few places blocked. However it does make it easy for someone to sneak in behind the tents. I know we are making shade & keeping us all together so this maximizes the shade. However is it the best for living history? We will need shade for the living history things My thought is that the Hide is a business and the tents are ...well residences. The Hide can be used for Lilly to display & work with her games, for pirates to relax, smoke pipes only, (maybe we can add a smoking fly?), Drink, eat, etc. and a close place for fighters to rest between bouts. I am thinking the Hide should be against the Hedge where the wedge tent is indicated. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of having the hide with the other tents but I don't know how practical it is. Any one else have input?

ooooooooO. Cool!

Aye, the problem is the pegs ...I have no walls ...hmmmm ...maybe some sort of line with hooks or just lash them up ...but then the weight pulls on the tent poles and makes the fly sag between the poles ...any suggestions PM me.

Check yer weapons at the door. Pick them up in the AM (or afternoon if you need to sleep it off). Cool scar.

You can always keep your tankard at "The Sealkie's Hide". I shall have a few extra at the Blackbeard Festival for those who have to travel all the way from the encampment to join us at the Pirate Hunter's encampment.

Nay, Sealchie is the Gaelic spelling lad.N'ya best leave Fionn out of this ...as always things are best if the lad is left out of them.

You should be drinking all day at events ...water & Gatorade. lol

Happy Birthday Lass

Pittsburgh is 5 to 6 hours west of where I am, that makes it an 8 hour drive. After driving 8 hours & back regularly a few years ago I have no taste for that long of a drive alone. I seldom go to Pittsburgh now that my folks have passed. Maybe once I find someone to travel with. It also gets expensive for one person. Like I said, maybe next year.

Hmmm, it is due west ...how did I manage to place it north. Always have had an issue with geography. Well, the 8 hour drive is an issue. Of course I drive to Key West yearly. Well, maybe next year. This year I am keeping to either closer events or bi-monthly or close this year. Finances being what they are.

LOL ...thanks Cap!

A good story teller cheats less and less in the progression of a tale. Not more and more. Aye, point made. The second movie pushed it a bit, I can't stand the scene with the water wheel, but I believe they still had gravity.

Some day I will be able to arrange & afford to come further north. Until then I will just have to wait for Blackbeard. Sigh

Ya best be lad. I knows yer lady, one word frum mae n'she'll keep ya in yer place!N'its spelled "Hide". "The Sealkies Hide" ...I wanted to spell it the correct way Sealchies but I knew how that would be butchered so I made it easy fer d'likes uv you.

I bought Flat Oval Reed 1/4" 1 Pound Coil Approx 275' from joann.com ($11.72 including S&H) and I believe that I will get two sets from it ...although one may have to be half boned.

Foxe I am impressed ...I don't even see the box with the red X any longer and you can see the image? Hmmm ...could it be that you do not want to appear a fool because only a fool can not see the emperor's new clothes?

I had training on the Kalamar Nykel and did some sailing last year but I would never call myself a sailor now that I know how little I have learned and how much I have yet to learn. Additionally, I will not be sailing this summer. There are other pressing maters this summer.

Emperors new clothes? I don't see a thing. Just a red X.

Hehehe ...Treva Shay ...love it! As t'dance, Mistress Alexander is a dancer, she too will be thrilled t'ave ya around! Now ...to make myself start learning these blasted songs.
