Sam Give me a call next time something like this is comming up.....I'd like to watch before it gets too hot......my number is 824-1453 nights and 825-3701 week days. Fair Winds Joe

Desert Pyrate Patterns of Timeunder mens colonial section has Men's Military coat patten that can be modified for what you want. If you want someone else to do the work C. D. Jarnagin ,Cornith, Mississippi has a stock coat that they will modify for you. all for under $300... I'm still looking a little more before I take the plunge. I have a Confederate re-enactor here in St. Augustine, Fl who is willing to make me a uniform....might go that route.... Well Good luck to ye and hope these urls help you in your quest for a coat. Fair Winds Joe

Well, I got me boots...six days from Maryland to North East Florida...not too bad. I did not know what to expect, having no knowledge of re-enactment clothing. They are soft and loooooonnnng...lol I'm just over six feet tall and they come almost up to my Long John Silver so when I wear them where they are comfortable they are somewhat wrinkled looking......don't know it that is normal or not but they look just fine. They are lined with some kind of foam material and are quite comfortable. All in all I think they are a good buy....House of Andar even threw a nice eye patch in the bottom of the box. I am well pleased with them. Now I'm on the look out for some pants that do not bunch up where they go into the boot and a nice frock coat......like to have a British Naval officer's coat to wear at my book signings. I be keep'n a weather eye out fer such garb and if'n ye sees any please let me know. Fair Winds and lots of Prey. Captain Viper (Joe O'Steen)

I'd hav ta say I like the young lady's run'n gear and wed'n tackle much better than the two lads, by far...lol

I too am waiting for the DVD of Master and Commander so I can see what all I missed at the theater. There was so much action during the battle scenes that I could not take in all of it. When the canons fired the whole room shook. I have never seen a movie which was so true to life at sea. I pray for a sequel. Fair Winds Joe

Ye be forgiven Captain William for Dudley Pope is my favorite author and my inspiration. He tends to teach the ways and whys of sailors in the age of sail. As far as my book, it is doing well at tallshipsbooks.com and I have signed a contract with a Jacksonville publisher for book two (Pursuit of Honor) and they would like to do the rest of the Nathan Beauchamp series. Book two is a pirate adventure. Poor Nate has to figure out who they are and try to catch them. I am really enjoying this hobby of mine. When you come to St. Augustine give me a call (904)824-1453 I have call block and my First Mate is in charge of communications so if you don't get through try again...lol I look forward to seeing you. Joe

Has everything you need to know to enjoy St. Augustine. http://www.oldcity.com/ And here is a Great place for Pirates to stay http://www.piratehaus.com/ If you are here during the week, me and the First Mate take vituals at the St. Augustine Beach Beef O'Brady's every Wed. At about 4pm Hope you enjoy your visit. Fair Winds Captain Viper (Joe O'Steen)

I am sure you will love it here in St. Augustine. It is seeped in History with lots of places to go and things to see. I've been all over the world and each time could not wait to return home. I can not think of living anywhere else. But then again I did love Key West when I lived there as a boy. Fair Winds Joe

St. Augustine....here

Now that be as fine a Pyrate Chest as I've ever had the pleasure to look upon...

Aye, sir, Captain William, that I am. I have not visited there as much as I would like of late. I missed the initial showing of "Duty" but caught most of it last night on A&E and enjoyed it very much. I am eagerly waiting for M&C to come out on DVD as there was so much action on the screen at the movies that I could not catch near as much as I wanted. Fair Winds Captain Viper (Joe O'Steen)
