Cracked Carrie

Arrr! Can't wait! *puts it on her calendar*

She looks great, Bully!

Born in Berserkeley, CA. In 1968. I think this explains a lot.

Those're great. Love the one of Ace an' Penny.

Very nice, especially the decorous SNORT, the subtle bird-flipping, and the fact that I appear to be transfixed by something on the ceiling! LOL! Seriously, good pics, and thanks for posting them!

Thanks, Cap'n! I can't believe I forgot it. I could swear I had it in my hand as I left, but as it's neither with me, nor in me car, nor with Penny, I can only guess I left it in yer cabin!

Ah, Quill, ye ain't kiddin' when it came to Saber's patience with the drunken Scott. I confess to hanging around near the stairway during that whole episode, thinkin' to meself, "Well, I'm 35 and've never been in a bar fight. This could be interesting!"

Well, I didn't get a lot of great pictures from the Wake (and I managed to leave me CD on Royaliste...dammit!), but here's a photo or two of her flag at night. I'll see what I can salvage from inside Quinn's later, as that'll take some serious Photoshopping (ran out of battery juice and was taking photos in very dim environs!).

Ahh, sad I missed the sail over and the overnight, but me sniffles are tellin' me it was a good decision. And the Wake itself was a blast!

I dunno if it's at all helpful, but I've got scads of blank CD's...I could bring a few extra, plus some more slimline cases, on the chance that there might be some people who'll want copies but forget to bring their own...?

Ahh, here I am, slow as usual. But Happy Birthday, anyway, Redd!!

I'll be there! And Sunday works as a pirate day, in my opinion!

An' I seen photo evidence!

Arg, Is you in me Port wit'out telling me? Ah, not anymore! I just got home!!! I wasn't organized enough to post here afore I left, an' I should have! Curses! I was in Houston for a few days, meeting an old friend of the family. Took one day and went to Kemah (during Buccaneer Days, even!) and zipped down to Galveston to stick my toes in the water. That was about it. Found out AFTER I got back from Galveston that I missed a tall ship there. Bad plannin' all 'round! I take it ye live in the area?

I'd just call it the: "Bully Fer You" But that's because I like stupid puns. Arrrr!

Great photos! What a beautiful sight she is!!! I can't believe I was there! (Oh...greetings from Houston!)

As formerly stated, if you can pull it off, I'm still pullin' my watch............ ??? I must have missed something. Should I even ask why you're not leaving the deck for extended periods of time?

My apologies to the list -- somehow I didn't receive one o' them automatic updates tellin' me there was talk about a BBQ. Stupid computer. So, I just tuned in late. I'd be interested in a get-together, definitely, although it sounds like the dates're still up in the air.

So...in light of that, do you still need me to do anything? :)

Ahoy, Quill! You can probably reduce the size by reducing the screen-size of the .mpg. I left it bigger than you normally do, and figured you could always resave it smaller if ye wanted to. If ye can't, let me know and I'll do it here and send another, smaller, version to ye. Glad it arrived safe an' sound!

Arrrr! Keep 'em coming, Quill! Although, that one with Bob an' his 3-foot-tongue is a mite disturbing. :angry:

Well, even if Blackbeard's Wake might not be the ideal venue...SOME venue to get everybody together would be a damn fine idea! :angry:

Great photos! That was a fun day!

Good points, all, Penny. :)

Ah, I missed this whole sail. But, for what it's worth... I've sailed with the Royaliste a number of times. I love her and her captain and crew. But... I also feel my spirits lift whenever I see the Chieftain or the Lady. My life is richer because of all three ships. I've rarely had more fun than the day last fall when we interacted with them, and the Aldebaran. Afterward, I had very positive emails with people who'd been aboard the other three, and with the Lady Luck webmaster and everything seemed upbeat. I'm very proud on behalf of our crew that we're now able to go out under full sail--I just wish I'd been there. We've come a long way, with Gary's patient help. I would love the opportunity to "play" with the Chieftain and Lady again, and very much hope that differences--whatever they are--can be resolved so that crew and passengers on all three can light off their cannons at each other in the spirit of loud, roaring good will! We're all out there because we love it, after all. -- The Peace and Light Pirate
