Capt.Trade.Wind

Ouch, sorry to hear about the Achillies tendon, Tradewind.

Thanks. It is slowly starting to feel some better.

Sorry about the flooding.

Where did you get the pattern.

They look great.

One of my fav's

The MUGS & JUGS Tavern

In pain me bloody Achilles tendon is killing me.

Ahoy Mates, finally the Captain Wind is back, and sadly was one of the ones that fled the bad weather on Saturday. My girlfriend was driving, and was a little worried about the storms. So we cut out much earlier than I wanted to.

However did catch the Bounding Main and Jolly Roger fantastic show by both.

Now I wait for Bristol to open.

I hope to be more active on the Pub moving forward.

Cheers!

Bounding Main will be performing just a few miles away at the Kenosha Days of Discovery-Tall Ships event. This won't be as immersive as the Port Washington Pirate Festival but there will be tall ships and sea shanty singers such as David HB Drake, Tom & Chris Kastle and, of course, Bounding Main. You can see the event schedule here.

Bounding Main WILL be at Bristol the weekend of August 18-19, and it would be wonderful to see our friends from the Pyracy Pub out there!

Fair winds!

Aye,

Now I know what dates to plan to go to the faire. Since I missed you in Port Washington, I will definatly have to be there for Bristol.

Depending on finances I might pop out to the Talls Ships to hear you as well.

Ahoy Maties,

First of all I would like to apologize for not making it out to Port Washington this year. I was really looking forward to meeting some of the people from the pub, but alas, real world events that reared their ugly head kept me from coming, and I have been having a time even getting on the net, thanks to my now ex-wife, but that is another story for my real world person to deal with and not Captain Wind.

That being said, I hope they do it again next year, and I will make sure I am there for that one.

I feel like the devil tryin' to sing The Name Game with the damned.Oh well here's another....

Art thou a pyrate?

Does thou wear glasses?

Jas Townsend & Son have some 18th century frames for only $30.

I own two pair me self.One with plain prescription lenses far hardcore reenactin' and a pair with prescription sunglass lenses for Ren Faires, Mardi Gras, and goth clubs.

-CS

The glasses are pretty cool. I have been wondering about that to get exact or as close as a rum skuller can be...

So you might say... I be LOOKING into them soon.

As I understand it, both will be on the west coast. One will travel to Mexico area, the other to Alaska.

Alaska is only a part of the year destination? Would it then do Mexico during the Alaska down time, or would they bring her east for the winter?

I will have a look see throught the travel trades and see if I see anything.

SOAPBOX TIME!!!!!

If you don't want to be disappointed:

DON'T READ ANYTHING THAT SAYS IT'S ABOUT POTC:AWE.

This way, you won't be disappointed.

I, on the other hand, love to sneak peaks at Christmas presents, catch the tooth fairy in the act, and made Hausenpeffer with the Easter Bunny!

Annyoing though it is, I would have to agree. It is interesting to have a look see and then sit back and wait to see if what you have seen is real or not. Someone spent time on it.

I was thrilled.

And holding Minnie hostage!

Now that might just make you the best pirate I ever saw.

I found out that my vacation for June 1 has been denied. I trasfered from third shift to second shift in a new dept. The new forman says that I can not have off that day due to inventory. Just how many people do they need? Well I will have to see if I can get down there at all now. Have fun anyway.

Arrrrr, that sucks.

Hope they might change their minds.

This is the link to the festival's volunteer page.

There is a list of various jobs we need help with, you can pick what interests you most. If you want clarification on any of them feel free to PM me. The sign up form is in .pdf form, you can either print it out and mail it or email it in to the admin.

Let me know if you have any questions, and THANKS!

I will have a look at them and let you know what questions I have, if any.

Capt Trade.wind.....hmmm perhaps buying lots of lotto tix

Maybe you should by 1 or 2 for me. :)

Have you tried www.mapmsg.com? Satellite pics that you can zoom in on. I've seen my house and even my boat.

I can't get zoomed far enought in to see the Captain's Crib. Though I can barly make out my roof.

that sounds like a right smart Party eh!

Aye, that it would be...

If I can be getting my garb together by then, I would love to volenteer

Having a costume is not a requirement for being a volunteer, as much as I would prefer to have everyone in costume we need volunteers too bad to discriminate!

We can always get you a pirate festival T-shirt to wear, too.

We would love to have you on board!

Thanks!

Now that I can do.

What is the next step for me to step up to help?

Hey if you all are looking for help on that Fri I all ready have it scheduled off.

ABSOLUTELY!

If you want to be an official volunteer the website has a volunteer page with a pdf sign up form. But if you just want to come down early and help with whatever setup we're doing...come on down. Last year we got started around noon on Friday, if memory serves (fog of rum).

This year we've talked about having a "green room" type of tent for volunteers and reenactors to check in and have a place to put their boots up for a bit. As soon as the Physical Plan is done, we'll know for sure. I'll keep you posted on that.

Thanks!

Ahoy Sally - If I can be getting my garb together by then, I would love to volenteer, I live in Racine curretnly, 51 miles door to park as my jeep drives.

Every 60 years is the year of the Golden Pig...not just year of pig .....Golden Pig. Golden Pig is supposed to bring much money!

Arrr, do you have any plans for the next 12 months?

I was born in the year of the Fire Horse and this year is supposed to be really good for me. I guess we will see if it plays out.

Cheers!

Captn TradeWind...so sorry to hear about that. Well when you are done with your bar I suggest having an ENORMOUS PYRATE PARTY.!!!! :) :)

Thank you, that be a long and strange story...

Once my pirate bar (if I keep the house) or my apartment, I might just have to do that and invite all pirates from all over to sail in for an evening or three. :)

Feast of Fools? Interesting theme...

I am looking forward to hearing who else is on the roster for this years Pirate Fest.

Cheers!

Thanks for sharing mate. Sorry to hear about the health issue.

I might have to look intoa Ren cruise myself.

Cheers!

Ahoy!! We got back to the Frozen North early Monday morning. The cruise was SPECTACULAR!!!! I'll be posting an after action report this coming weekend, including pictures.

Aye, I be looking forward to living vicareously (sp) through ye.
