"I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/

hurricane Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 The schedules has been updated as of Aug. 8. Check it again for some changes. Also, we will be inside the fort, not out on the beach this year. Oh, and I'd love to see any of you keep up with Norma. She's got more energy than most half her age. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Silkie McDonough Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Last I heard the Port Royal Buccaneer camp was to be inside the fort and the 1720 Careening camp was to be on the beach in the shade of the trees. Unless Harry posts otherwise I plan to be in the shade and breezes on the beach. Harry?
Patrick Hand Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Yah.... I wanna camp in th' trees..... gots me hammoc all ready fer it........ :angry: Insides th' Fort be nice.... just no place ter tie hammocs.......besides... th' ocean breezes make it more comfortable fer anyone campin' downwind O' me......... (I'm hoping Hurricane was talking about the Buccaneer camp being inside of the Fort, and the Careening Camp outside in the trees.....)
William Brand Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 As stated in the Fort Zachary Taylor updates thread, The port Royal camp will be inside the fort. The Mercury Careening Encampment and the Sutlers camp will be outside the fort near the beach. The Red Coat camp may be inside the fort and the Archangel crew has not yet decided.
Patrick Hand Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 The Mercury Careening Encampment and the Sutlers camp will be outside the fort near the beach. YAY............ Campin' right near th' beach in Key West...... wot more could ye be askin' fer........
Rats Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes... However, I believe the AA crew is to be camping in the fort. Atleast that's what we were talking about this last weekend!!! I know it's not PC, but I would assume there is electricty in the fort??? I'm just thinking about camera batteries and such. Plus if my missus brings her laptop we can edit and show folks the pics which were taken at Sunday's bash on the ramparts.... Well that would be pretty sharp wouldn't it!!! Rats No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!
Captain Jim Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 There is power in the fort. Last year we posted a couple of "LIVE from PiP" posts on Rusty's laptop. Damn pyrate hunters livin in the lap o' luxury...consortin' with redcoats...scoundrels all, says I. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Patrick Hand Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Damn pyrate hunters livin in the lap o' luxury...consortin' with redcoats...scoundrels all, says I. But we'll be campin close ter th' beach....... aaaaah.... close enough ter see alla th' babes in bikinis.......
Captain Jim Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Arrr...booty and treasure chests...pyrates still pursuing the same old thing. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Rats Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 What about treasure and chests and such???? .....maybe I need to rethink my career or should I say careening choice!!!! No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!
Rats Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 I would personally love to see a diagram/ sketch or pics of the area we will be in of the fort and the location of the pub, showers and all that Sh-tuff. Especially if we are bringing in the kitchen sink and everything. It would help us plan what we need and it's only a few months away!!!! Rats No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!
hurricane Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 As stated in the Fort Zachary Taylor updates thread, The port Royal camp will be inside the fort. The Mercury Careening Encampment and the Sutlers camp will be outside the fort near the beach. The Red Coat camp may be inside the fort and the Archangel crew has not yet decided. A small correction from Harry. The sutler's camp (i.e. Thieve's Market) will be inside the fort as in years past. The Mercury Encampment is on the beach under the trees. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

William Brand Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 A small correction...Callenish and Harry will be working together on the matter of Callenish's location. He may be selling his wares with the Mercury encampment.
hurricane Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 That would make sense since he's with the encampment. Far easier that scurrying back and forth between the thieve's market and the beach for the encampment stuff. Wear a poor guy out in the heat, it would... -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.
