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.

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?

(I'm hoping Hurricane was talking about the Buccaneer camp being inside of the Fort, and the Careening Camp outside in the trees.....)

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.

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!!!

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!!!! :D

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.

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...
