oh sure....like I didn't fall for that one before!!!......I'd show up with me tent full of OATS!!!

put ole Ivan "MOOSEWORTH" Henry down for ..."Fashion Show"...sonofablasted FB...now I needs me a New Coa!!

what??.....no pictures!?!?.....lemme see em already!!!

sounds like the meeting up afore time sounds like the best option for bigger camp items....otherwise looks like the ultimate "pack - in" event.. OI! Mark....does yur "Dead Sheep" have a sailing rig??..come get me we'll sail South from the Port City of DeTroit...pickin' up the "surgeon" along the way...!?!? for those "packing in" or packing light...a sugestion of comunity tents might be in order?...or the "scootch over" method perhaps??

Camping Registration will (or so I was told) still remain on a first REGISTERED first served baisis...same as last year...and their was (like in all the years) several openings due to last minute cancelations....at this time there is no reason to think otherwise...we'll push Fayma to post as soon as Regerstrations are being accepted so folks can start planning and finalising the trip arraigments....so any and all who are on the fence or considering this event are encouraged to decide and register early. tho the 100 head count for camping...does NOT Effect @d@a@y @partipants...those who have alternate sleeping araingments are still required to register to receive a Participant pass

The Fort Staff felt that the "Fort itself" should be more a center piece than a backdrop....and origianally wanted to limit the entire festival to ONLY the years the Fort was built...ie 1800's...a timeline was the only solutuon to encorporate all that have and will want to attend....the desiscion to move the ENCAMPMENT back into the fort (it was there originally) was due to increased security concerns from the public beach...had several issues of "stray" public wandering in...and this was the compromise to ease the Fort Staff concerns..... 100 Campers....not limited participants....many stay in town as it is....the number came from the FORT Staff based on open tent space to safley accommodate everyone camping(and will be most likely adjusted in the years to come)...the only alternative was to use the annex instead...which was thought to be even more inconvient to participants some of the attendees previously attended as GAoP or Buccaneers have already volunteered to be some of the 1800ls impresions as they already have the kit.....to placate the fort...this of course also opens up those who want to do earlier or later (tho somali would probably be frowned on)...so this should not vary the total of participants form the past years...as their numbers already counted....this is .(as of yetU...not a closed event....all are welcomed and encouraged to participate...but will continue to have a limited number of campsites available(until that number can be proven to Fort Staff)....considering the the past years numbers...this should not be an issue this year. ..Fayma is working dilegentlyon changing the event to include the requests/demads of the Fort Staff as well as keeping that "it" factor which made this event what it was...a truly enjoyable event for everyone. please continue to voice opinions and suggestions....any and all concerns will be addressed in turn.....

ok....silly Question#326 how do we get everything on the Island? (never having been to the island)....i see that there are a couple of Ferry ta get there....one passenger only...and a car ferry...but the site says not to use car ferry due o up to 4 hour wait times.... and most ferrys dont allow (blackpowder) crossing....guns swords tentspoles etc.....what is the suggestion for best way to get there?? or can anyone come get me up in Port Detroit and Boat me in??

Remember that things "Pickled" also helped prevent Scurvey...many kegs of Pickled Vegitables made it onto ships manifests...and would last longer than fresh fruit....course ya would have to eat 'bout twice as many pickles as fruit so how am i preventing scurvey on May 2...????....i'll be getting thoroughly "pickled"...

lookin for reference....but seems I read that it was great sport to set up the new young officers...when they first come aboard to let them have a go at the Blunderbuss....in which the crewe would often have loaded heavey...and watch in great amusment where the new officer...being a huntsmen would put to the shoulder...and subsequently thoroughly dislocate their shoulder....then to be explained that it was to be fired under the arm...but up against part of the rail or deck don't quote me...still lookin into where I saw that tidbit now from practical use...a shotgun(with no sight) up to the shiulder has a tendency to fly high....bringing down (hip high) could bring it down considerably did I mention i'm still lookin for a reference???

if they are the same i be thinkin of...were they not more Naitive South Americans?...or were some (of the 3 recorded) North American??

Oi...Hurricane...are ya still able to Dive Port Royal?? or is anypart of it closed off?
