Congrats Nate and Andrea!!! Hansome looking buccaneer ya got there. When he gets older send him to me an' Patrick, we'll corrupt him well with Merry and Rumba's help. Bo, you better not let Blondie see them pics of the wee one. She just might want another. Animal

Good on ya, Patrick!!! Did you get any photos of the camp? I agree that the weight of the shirt was probably more towards period. Functionality over comfort. I still think (from the available images) that long hunting shirts with drawers or none were probably what was worn. A couple of images show wraps around the legs for protection. Could be leather or maybe sail cloth or canvas, not sure. I'm thinking leather for protection against the brush and thorns on the islands. When I get my kit closer to what I want, I'll post some photos. Anyone else got something to add??? Animal

Happy Beerthday, William!!! Ditto to what Capt'n Jim said. Have a good day!!! Animal

Thank you Lily. Much appreciated. Animal

I think if we can get the ok from the management, a boucan would be a great idea. Michelle, could you sent me the link to the info? I think separating portrayals but keeping the group as a whole together is a good idea. I also am a hunter and that is what I am working towards. I am also doing some research into the hunters around the time of Colonial Jamestown and Williamsberg. Anyone have any shots of the camp from 2009 or are the ones posted elsewhere it? Animal

Ok, this is where we can start planning and tossing around ideas for next years Buccaneer Encampment. Let's start with what went right and wrong in 2009. We can fix and improve for 2010. I have every intention of being there next year, one way or the other. Let's hear from those who were there last year. Animal

I too would like to make this. It all depends on if I have employment and can get the time off. Since it's a weekend, that might make it easier. I'll know more later. Animal

Happy Birthday, Mission!!! Are you legal yet????? Animal

I'm bumping this thread to keep it alive. Whoever was at PIP this year, please post andy photos you might have of the Buccaneer camp, please. I would like to see what it looked like and hear ways to improve it. We are less than a year away from PIP 2010. Now is the time to fine tune it. Animal

I'm in the process of making plans for PIP 2010. If all goes well and the job is confirmed in January, I'll be there. I plan on grouping up in the Buccaneer Camp. Patrick, shoot me a email with some of you ideas. I have some thoughts also. Animal

Well done, gentlemen? The sequence told the story of Mr. Cross's adventure well. Good on ya, mates!!! Animal

Well done again, Mission!!! William Brand made it to PIP???? I'll throttle the bastid!!! Tell him he has lost his standing in the "I couldn't make it to PIP in 2009 Club" (or something like that). Now also tell Mister Brand that it is his duty to take and post photos, no excuses!!!! Animal

Happy Birthday ya Stynky old bastid!!!! What are you now 101????? Animal

Photos!! Photos!!Photos!!Photos!!Photos damnit, Photos!!! :( (uh....was I subtle enough William????) Animal

Make mine a large also. I like the second logo better. Animal

Ugh~ So, I'm upstairs, brushing my teeth, finally getting ready to crawl in bed, when I realize what you are going on about. Gave me a bit of a smile, you did ~ before I remembered you really aren't going to be at PiP. Going to miss you guys ~ I think I can speak for Willie in saying we'll miss you all also. Fair and safe travels and ask for a moment of silence for those of us not able to make it this year, then a volly sounded and a drink or two hoisted. That would put a grand smile on me face. YHS, Animal

Welcome to the "I can't make it to PIP club". This club sucks big time but we all have to do what we have to do. We're meeting in the Ward Room during PIP. You can find it under the Mercury crew's section in Pirate crews. Here's the link: http://www.the-watchdog.com/ Animal

You going to take ROBBIE fishing with you and use him for chum bait, Sterling????? Take lots of pics, this I got to see!!!! Animal

I think that Cuban restaurant closed and moved somewhere else on the island, Hawkins. Hurricane might be able to verify that. Animal

Sorry cannot possibly tie him to the roof...he has to take his turn at the wheel, so I can get some sleep... but if I need to keep him in line, I shall assign him the duty of answering the snotties persistent questions...."ARE WE THERE YET? HOW MUCH LONGER? WE'RE HUNGRY CAN WE STOP AND GET SOMETHING TO EAT??? WHY DOES MISS GRACE SAY DUTCH DRIVES LIKE AN OLD LADY???" If I was going my standard answer would be: No..As long as it takes, wanna walk?..nonono...Mind yer elders, youngsters or you can get out and push!!! That whole conversation reminds me of the trip to Disneyland with my snottie........ Animal

Send her my love and wishes for a speedy recovery, although that speedy recovery will take awhile. Do like Mary Diamond said. Follow the rehab by the book or I'll spank her bottom. Ohh....wait...... she will like that, uh....never mind. Animal

Hawkins, when and where are you going to be in Jamestown and Williamsburg??? I might swing by to meet up seeing as I'm not making it to PIP this year. Animal

My dearest fuzzy friend, can I have your calendar??? Oh, yer right as usual Lily, it's a few days away. It's still a few weeks away for those of us planning on next year. Animal

Hey Patrick!!!!! PIP is just a few weeks away!!!!! Can ya feel the pressure yet??????? :ph34r: :ph34r: Animal
