Ahoy, Mateys

To be puttin' this back on the top 'o the list, I'll be showin' up to the Maryland Renaissance Festival for closing day - Sunday October 19th. I'll be there with me best drinkin' buddy Pirate George. Not sure how I'll dress though.

And Yes, I know it's been a while since this was active, but I too must make my observations of the time we had at MRF for Pirate Invasion Weekend...

Capt. Flint and I had such a wonderful time, and so did Pirate Lass Maggie (she still talks of riding the elephant). We thank everyone for coming to the event, and special thanks to Hawkyns and to the Tudor crew for coming down to enjoy further festivities at our Port 'O Call. Let's do it again next year... without the Hurricane!

Stynky - Me eyes be Hazel.

Riches to all,

Katey O'T.

Well, me Mateys, I be thankin' yea for the wunnerful wishes of continued joy, happiness and yet another bottle 'o rum, cask 'o wine or barrel 'o ale.

Stynky - check your math (not 27)...either that or ye be flatterin' me way too much.

Molly - That sounds like an iterestin' move Stynky be tellin' of, perhaps ye should be teachin' it to me - Capt. Flint might be likin' it.

Westyn - Can't wait 'til we be havin' that drink together, we must find a weekend or somethin'!

And, as always to me Capt. Flint - Thanks for such a wunnerful day at the Faire. I do like the plunder from Rob Pyland's Port 'o call.

Until next year, me Mateys...

Fort weekend is always fun. I'm really into living history, it is great to walk around and talk with the recreationists.

I haven't been to J. Patricks in a long time, probably 4 1/2 years. They used to have Celli Dancing lessons on Wednesday nights. Do they still do that? I think I may have to go again one day to show off the reason I stopped dancing. She is now almost 4 years old!

I do know that Capt. Flint and I will be there fer certain. We always look forward to Pirate Invasion Weekend at the MRF. I do hope to see many pirates from the Forum there. Shall we plan a meeting? Certain time & place? One of the Pubs, maybe?

Katey O'T

Ah, it be always good to be welcomin' new blood to the port. I hope ya be stayin' here whilst we get to know ya!

With all the traveling this time of year, here is a cool destination if you find yourself on the Del/Mar/Va Coast. About 1/2 mile from the Maryland/Delaware border on Costal Highway, there is a store called Sea Shell City. The upper level is the DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum. It is free, and donations are accepted to keep the museum running. Please check out the link:

The owner loves going on "treasure hunts" on the shores of Delaware with his group of people armed with metal detectors, please check for scheduled times for this on the website.

Hope You enjoy the Ocean City - Fenwick Island area!

Another must do, as my Capt. Flint has said in a previous post, is Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. It was such an awesome destination...

Ah, the weapons are most impressive! You can purchase a ticket that will get you into Colonial WillamsburgHistoric area, Jamestown Settlement and (darn, I can't remember the third one...) in the Historic Triagle Ticket. Or, if you are feeling really up to a trip, a 7 day, 5 attraction pass includes Water World and Bush Gardens.

And there is a Campground very near Williamsburg.

For my new freind -

A very hearty HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Don't be celebrating with too much rum or drunken brownies (don't get burned by the blue flame)...but may you be celebrating it well and with the ones you love the most!

Enjoy the day!

Katey O'T

Coastie,

This lass is raisin her glass as well, with a chaser of chocolate rum balls...enjoy! Hope this year goes well and that you have many more!

Katey O'T

Well, me Mateys,

What I wouldn't give to be there in person. It sounds like a good time will be had by all, but I'm sorry to say that the Festival takes place during vacation Blackout for me and my Mate. Otherwise, I would be there with my black powder, chocolate rum balls for all, and stories of riches beyond your wildest imaginations...Raise your glass to me!

Alter Years (http://www.alteryears.com/), Harper House (http://www.alteryears.com/) and Amazon Dry Goods(http://www.amazondrygoods.com/) companies have patterns available. Alter years: you can brouse their catalog online and has their own "Pirate" pattern not available by the other two. Realze that these are a bit more expensive than what you will pay at the local fabric store, and they are ususally printed on newsprint or heavy white paper.

Look not only for the Pirate outfits, but also in the time frame of French Restoration thru American colonial, these will also suit well.

Lorelei,

I search TMC every couple weeks to see if "Against All Flags" is coming up. It's one of my absolute favorites! What a cast! What a Romp! What I wouln't give to be there....

Love n kisses,

Katey O'T

Also, I be lookin forward to the "Pirates of the Carribean" movie due out this summer starring Johnny Depp. If it's anything like the Adventure at Disneyland, I'm in for at least a couple viewings on the big screen...

Love n kisses,

Katey O'T
