just counting the days til i can partake in a caffiene feast.......ray line me up about 3 triple shots of espresso ....neat. there is way too much blood in my caffiene stream

expect to be back signing the articles in another week or two, if not sooner

Ach well, all I can say is more cannons are always a good thing. no labour, as of yet, though might be taking odds with Grace about when that joy begins. As to the gunny sacks aye those are avalible and am thinking on one for Hamish when the time comes; a wee hammock to keep him above the ants. the pictires are fantastic and I still have yet to see the ones we have to post, hopefully those will be up online soon.

Just a few thoughts on the event in NC. IT WAS A GREAT TIME FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Between crowds that seemed truly interested i and wanted to interact with both pyrates and history and the fun that the crews had in interacting with them. Even in the early morning hours the public started to pass through the camps to see what the pirates were doing at the moment. The invasion itself seemed to be a huge success and pictures will be posted as people are able... least i hope so . Callenish and meself will post what we have when we get home. The crews did a grand job with all of the interaction between five differnt crews and 100 + pirates seemed to be flawless, there were a few, but the event went on so well that it seemed to be as such. The battles and sceneroius involved alit of work for all involved but made the crowds step into and be invoved with what was happening all weekend. The invasion, milita vs pirates battles, trial and hanging. a bout of flogging ( anyone have pics of that????), and the living history aspectswere fantastic. I think the crews and pirates have found a wonderful way to carry out the histories and the re enACTing with the public. It was alot of fun for all involved and wanted to say Thank you and here's to another chance at doing this again Apart from the public we pirates had our fun as well, there were evenings of shanty sing alongs, a ball, and a moonlight cruise. Many musiancs brought thier talents and songs to the sings, the ball that was a wonderful effort on the part of the maritime museum allowing the party continue . the same night was the chance to take a moonlight cruise, lets us say maDogg put a turtle to shame for a little while but came out unharmed and dry. Besides it was the wall's fault,and both were grand tymes. A heartfelt thank you to the event organizers and participants for making the event fantastic.

just goes to show you that in a society that relies too much on technology. It stands to reason we should all go back to hand written documents and playing music on instraments. harder to copy and mayhaps they would not want to waste thier time hand copying and they cannot fault you for copyright infringment if you play your own tunes. Ah I knew I was born in the wrong century

Cheers and congratulations to you both, and may the wee one carry on pyrating

Ahoy first mate, still hae nae gotten the current issue o said bulletin. I am hopeing it arrives soon. 1 so I may enjoy said goodies, and 2 so i can renew said subscription in time to get the next issue. Cheers, Ye ship's potter, Salty

(horatio) hornblower

then tis only a wee bit early....wait is it ever too early to start celebrating birthdays, is that not why there are un- birthdays?????? anyways happy natal day early lass or rather happy un natal day til ti arrives

right now water........ counting the days til i can sit down to a lovely triple espresso straight. the alchol can wait til after i get a major caffiene fix..... aye there be too much blood in me caffeine stream

just on principal to bump this topic and I will be emailing in for a few pins as well .

Sigh the only way they could make captian blood any better would be to colourize it........ i wish em luck in the making but with the past attempts at remakes it is a wait and see. Although you have to admit a "Captina Blood" would be fun

iffin, ye need more buttons or another source methinks mary diamond has dealt with said buttons on here before.... just a thought mates

beats the hell out of footfall and baseball, now doesn't....... glad to see that it is being brought back for the sport of it and not as a farce. Now of we could get the world to view "pyracy" as a sport, wouldnt it be grand Ye ship's potter, Salty

Tis a grand idea and worthy cause luv....... will add a bit to the cause as I may... Salty

Aye twill be good to get me hands on the new issue....... as to the BN and borders issue, aye have hounded and waited upon thier newsstand often, unfortunelty they have the final say in what each choose to carry and if often takes more then one pirate asking to have them take stock and trade in said interesting materail. good luck keep hounding and mayhaps the pirates can coerherce, errrrrrr succeed in getting said booty.

To add to the skuttlebutt.......t'was as grand o tyme as to be had for new pirates and old........thanks be to the crews fer hosting such a gathering . HUZZAH HUZZAH HUZZAH

Ach well tis true...the wee lad will join ranks and sign the articles near enough in August. Be it too early to be telling em stories o wicked pirates and the sea???? or rock names for the matter. Cheers mates, Salty

Nae lad, jus because it is not written for all the world to see does not mean it never , ever happened. Just means that in what has been read thus far have not found any refernce to it. Proof of exsitence is not exsitence of proof. Another two pence, Salty

I'll not be knowing if olde world clay is still in business least last I was on his site it seemed not to be. His articles are priceless for information though. The short and long of it as to wering the pipe in your hat is least this potter has not come across refernce to it historically. Most were made to fit in pockets or ditty bags. the long stemmed pipes seem recerverd for home or pub use. jus me twa pence. Ye ship's potter, Salty PS yes i am still trying to set up to make said beasties ASAP
