Dean, will there be a gallery of pics again? and I was wondering if there could be a list of ships crews on the site.. give a little love back, so ta speak.. maybe a links site or harbor listing or something. I do see a LOT of pics and slide shows if you Google the name. People love ya!

Cheers!

Well, you'll have to bring that up to Sally, as I stepped off the committee this year because of all of the pre-event business I need to attend to for our little European tour in August.

As for the web site: last year and this year the producer chose to manage the web site herself, but she's also managing everything else about the event and may not be free to respond directly. I'd try passing on requests for the site to Scuttle Sally who will pass them on to the producer of the show.

We always post our pics of the event on our photo gallery, plus whomever else sends us pics. (It is Bounding Main heavy, naturally . . .)

Very nice images, Mr Calin. :)

Been curiously an' patiently awaiting some info and response to questions. Especially and mainly the gunpowder issue especially for the main scenario, if we are to bring our own gunpowder charges or they supply them there for us for the scenario?

Also, hoping to do some scenarios with folks.

I see that the Breakfast with the Pirates is back. Awesome! Need to draw more folks in for that one.

Greatly looking forward to this event. Now... be easier to spend our gold if the gas prices lowered.

Now that's why I built Tyburn's Last Drop (our tavern) the way I did...

And with the threat of tornado-se-dos, huricain-knees and all kinds of other misfortunes... there be plenty of room in the cellar for everyone :huh:

I simply can't wait!!!

Rats! I be lookin' forward t' havin' a few drinks at yo'r Tavern! Have ye cleared out th' dead body from 6 months 'go? An' th' drunken gent who fell down them steps t' stumble 'pon th' body?

:huh: All in all, do look forward t' having a grand time with debauchery and carousin' and whate'er else at thy Tavern. Toss around a couple scenarios there, too. :huh: I'm up fo' anything if ye be willin' t' participate in some scenarios. Poisoned drinks, bar fight, etc.

Oh, I am SOOO lookin' forward t' this!

And with a new pirate outfit, too! Not just my black one now... but the new crimson red outfit. :huh: And maybe another one if time allows.

I am happy to say that Bounding Main will be performing at Port Washington Pirate Festival and we will have our new CD, "Going Overboard" available for sale.

If you can't wait you can pick up a copy on CDBaby or on Apple iTunes.

We will have copies of our Operation Share the Shanties CDs for the wounded US Military personnel that we'll be visiting in the Landstuhl Military Hospital in Germany in August. If you want to sponsor a gift CD with a personal message to one of our wounded boys you can do so any time during the day.

Plus we'll be singing a barrel-full of fun and exciting new songs!

We can't wait to see all of you!

If people aren't opposed to driving twenty minutes or so, Cedarburg has some nice b&b's and a nice hotel too with plenty of shopping for the off hours as well. Or there is a hotel just off of the freeway in Grafton near Target and Home Depot too.

Thank ye, Kate. :) I'm sure that hotel will be occupied, too, by pirates. Coming into it's 4th year and Port Wash is growing so swiftly and larger that Lord knows where it will be another 5 years from now.

LOL.. Dean... I LOVE the cover of the new album! It's fantastic!!!

My Compliments, mate! Can't wait to hear some of the songs at Port Wash. :lol:

It's getting closer and closer! I'm SO excited! Heck, even my cat is excited! (and he's not even going).

Bloody Kidd will be attending (my nephew, Dalton). I swear, he's growing faster than we can expect! He's as tall as I am already! :blink: So, Bess... Yo'r boys can start dancing around... and Dalton WON'T be having any rings so as the boys don't nearly fall into Lake Michigan again. (the goof balls)

Not to worry Rats, we'll be able to meet up on Friday and help set up the Tavern.

It will be great to see your Pryratical self once again. Question, I plan to bring a few tavern games for the public (especially the kids to learn)!

Cards, and Skittles...just to name a few.

Remember the tavern does not need to be set up by 4 of the clock on Friday as long as its marked out on the grounds (although the earlier the better if we can make the arrangements), ... we just need bodies there by 4, them that need to be in the dress rehearsal for the Fest folks.

Archangel Crewe, please email me with arrival times when you can. Thank you.

Brilliant!!!

Can't wait t' have a few drinks mixed with mysterious carousing at thy tavern, Rats. :)

I've a couple games as well. Morgan's Revenge (easy for the kiddos to learn) and of course Pirate's Dice. Granted I'd LOVE to bring my fine wood Draughts set. We shall see about that, though.

I be up for some fine fun scenarios at the tavern. :lol:

Thank you my dear Lilly! I can't wait to get everyone together for another venture!!

Maybe we can get everyone for a ride on the Windy???

I'm also working on a few more benches and tables for folks to use and for displays.

BTW: What is the average length for a good skittles table??? Should a backstop and or sides be considered for safety??

If I remember correctly, last year during the parade, we received a sudden request for firing BP weapons... Will that be put in the works this year??

This year if we have tornadoes... I'm sitting on my countertop with a bottle of rum in one hand and my cutlass in the other, and ridin' the tavern into the twister!!!

Here's to you all!!

Well blow me down! I survived Port Pirate Fest 2007

Capt Sterling, you talked about scaring the little gobs with chains and such, when you help with the article signing.

Is that still in your itinerary?

Aye, that be true!

There may be an interesting tale or two told at the tavern.

I just hope that Rats keeps the tavern well stocked. If not, he'll have to go down into the cellar from time to time to help replenish the taps!

(whispering aside) - I do not care much for that cellar. You never know whom will dig up there! B)

Digging up someone is not half as much trouble as filling in the cellar after the event is over...I just don't know how those WWI guys do it....

The best is when Rats trips over things down there because he forgot to bring a candle with him. B)B)

I'm trying to schedule a half day of PTO - so I guess I'd be there about 1 or 2 at the latest.

"The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning."
