Luckily I have one made by Michael and one made by Mad Pete. I can carry one in each hand or both over my shoulders.

I gave up...

Also nice to see my old photo and wrote are still there!

I got a call from Mad Pete but I missed it. I tried resetting my password but have up after several tries. I managed to get back on today so I'm taking a look around and reminiscing.

I'm probably the last to report in but I did get my Secret Santa gift several weeks ago. I received a pack of playing cards with images of locations throughout Romania along with a letter explaining Romanian winter celebrations and a small version of a traditional milieu.

I will be there, hopefully Paula is with me, and I'm sure Steve will be tagging along with us.

I'll chip in $20 towards food...

I think that's makes about a dozen or so for various meals during the day. We'll be cooking and putting out different things throughout each day.

This thread has also been posted on the Facebook Mercury Crew page for those interested.

Everyone is welcome. I think last year Steve collected $10 or $20 from those who wanted to join in. We would like to get a head count so we know how much to bring. Also, if anyone has any special menu request, let us know so we can try to accommodate. Mission, we'll try to include something a little more vegetarian this time. We can also make a run to the store and pick up extras.

Just wondering how many Mercury Crew members will be attending this year. Is there any interest in putting together some meals for the crew like we did last year? Steve will be our cook again and I'm sure he'll be up first thingn in the morning making breakfast and bacon for all. Do we want to plan any other meals together? We are already planning to do a small pig on the spit, hopefully on the day all the kids are there, I promised Lily there'll be no goat this time...

I'm in again.

Get in touch with me when it gets closer Capt Jim. Maybe we'll be able to meet up there on Friday.

I will be there again and hopefully Paula can get off work this time. We will be in the wall tent with the large fly. Mister Mallett will be joining us in another tent.

I saw a civil war era press for $14 from the Village Timsmith at www.CSA-Dixie.com

Happy Birthday William !!!

I still don't recall any acts of piracy perpetrated by the crew of the Mercury, yer honor...

There's a short bio in a book at Google Books. I think it was called the International Directory of Pirates, Plunderers, etc... by Phillip Gosse. Not sure if he quotes any references for his wk though.

Disregard my last message Willie. I finally read my PMs.

Thanks Willie - Is there any paperwork or reservation to fill out or do we just show up with our stuff and set up camp? What are the dates and times for set-up and tear down?

Captain Jim - Hope to see you there !

I must have bid on this book twenty times on eBay over the last few years. It was probably you bidding it out of my budget every time.

I'm interested in this encampment...

Happy (even more) belated birthday. I haven't been around much and missed yet another one...

... and a belated Thank You to you too Stynky

I would also be interested in learning more about this one. If I can't make it up north in time for the Put in Bay event this would be a good alternative for me.
