Mysterious?? Moy?? Well, home Port is currently Victor, Co (if anybody's heard of it, and isn't a geologist, I be amazed!), though I am concidering heading to New Orleans in a couple o' years (GREAT town if'n ye've ne'er been thar). I was shangheid into a life of piracy... err... merchant sailing... a few years ago by friends, but haven't been able to pusue it for the last couple years due to my excessively land-locked position :). But now that i've got most o' my sea-fairing garb back (or replaced) I'm rearing to have a go at the local swabbies this summer! Are any of ya mateys ported anywhere in the Colorado region?? Drinks are on me!!

err... Wouldn't Granuaile be more of a Pirette, or have I gone totally off the deep end, here?? :) As fer the Tilamore Dew, lass, yer wish is my command!!

Sure'n this is probably a repeated topic (at least, I be hopin' 'tis!), but... What be the drinks yerselfs be favorin when ye' enter port? For me, 'tis a shot o' Scotch (12-year old single malt fer preference) in a pint o' Russian Imperial Stout (via Stone Brewing Company, when available, or Old Rasputin).

Ahoy mate! Always roon fer a player o' the sting an' bow! Will ye' be havin' a shot an' a pint?

Calico Jack Rackham??? That 'as a familiar ring to it lad... Are ye' by any chance a Moonlight Raider? Or maybe wit' the Drunken Dragons or Spilt Beer Pirates as well??

If.n ye've done ACW re-enacting, have you ever seen the soft-cover books by Osprey Publishing (www.ospreypublishing.com) ? They have a HUGE selection of soft-cover booklets (about $10-15 each) on prtty much ANY historical period. Their Pirates series (4 booklets, I think) is fantastic, and all the books have a color-plate section; very useful for outfit ideas! You can find them in any good hobby shop that carries military/historical plastic-model kits. or bookstores that have a large military section, too.
