Cheeky Actress Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Oh, those belong to Rats. The Autem Mort, be Maggie and the little fair haired brownie be Morgan. Both were wonderful this past weekend. Morgan was there always wanting to help where she could. As you can see, she quite an expert of lacing stays now! Member of "The Forsaken"
Rats Posted August 9, 2007 Author Posted August 9, 2007 Thanks Patrick! Yes, that is my wonderful (and very tollerant) wife and daughter. We were both commercial shooters, prior to our current jobs. Maggie is responsible for many of the pics.... Usually the ones I'm in!! Morgan is just incredible!! Just wait til the triplets grow up! No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!

Ransom Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 It's looking at pictures like these that make me think I'm living on the wrong coast! Great stuff, guys. Only rain? What, no tornado? :angry: ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.

Rats Posted August 13, 2007 Author Posted August 13, 2007 You have no idea how cold that water was lying there, as the waves washed up where you really didn't want it!!! Talk about feeling like a sugar cookie!!! Luckily, slops shake off and dry pretty easy...Which is a good argument for having an extra pair while one dries!!!! Actually one of my most favorite parts of the weekend was after everyone crashed out on Saturday night.... With the storm brewing, I threw my new long coat on, grabbed my lantern and blade, then took a walk to the water's edge. When I got to the beach, the sound of the wind and the waves were booming, and in the darkness it became difficult to gauge where the waves were actually washing up to.... Needless to say, that being there alone as the elements seemed to clash around me was a very memorable experience! Which is probably what made me want to capture some of that feeling with the pics on the beach. Hope it worked! Rats No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!
Rats Posted August 23, 2007 Author Posted August 23, 2007 Thanks Rumba! That whole weekend was a lot of fun. And the weather was as it looks... from one extreme to another! I'm still wondering about Captain McCrary's injury!!!??? But that's really why we do this kind of thing! (We're all actually just big kids having fun anyway!!) But when folks can enjoy a pic or a presentation, that's when we get our reward!! And by all means, you're always welcome!! Take care No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!
CrazyCholeBlack Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I'm still wondering about Captain McCrary's injury!!!??? What are you wondering Rats? Captain & Jay went out bright and early Sunday morning to rescue the Pirata. She was taking on water thanks to waves breaking right behind her (not 10 feet either direction, just right behind her!). He got on board but before getting a good hold Pirata was hit by another wave. Captain was tossed from one side to the other, hit the rail (breaking a rib and cracking an other) but managed to catch the edge and not hit the water. Thankfully they managed to get she safely into the docks while Mssr. William and Lt Garland caught and hauled in Tantrum, which had broken free from where they had secured her to the Pirata after boarding. All this before 8am. No wonder we consume so much coffee! As far as I know Captain is recovering well and should be up to many of his usual tricks come Kohkohmah.

Rats Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Oh man, that's great to hear!!! I just met the guy and would hate to hear he was side-lined! But talk about badluck for an event!!! 1st the attempted theft by the indigenous natives!!! Then a storm that lasted forty days and forty nights?? Ok maybe not that long!!! But then to end up with a pair of spareribs??????!!!! Lucky there wasn't any lightning that night!!! No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!
