hurricane Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Ahoy all! Re-reading the Buccaneer's Realm again, it suddenly dawned on me that Benerson Little was born in Key West. So, I wrote him yesterday. We had a delightful little chat and I told him that we basically use his Buccaneer's Realm and Sea Rover's Practice as bibles to guide our re-enactment efforts. Well, long story short -- Benerson has tentatively agreed to come down for the Fort Fest. Turns out he always wanted to go back to Key West. He's agreed to do a presentation if we'd like and I invited him out to the encampment to look over all our stuff, drink some of the rum punch I make based on his recipe and share his knowledge with us. If you haven't read his books, yet, I think you'll find them terrific resources and very well documented research-wise. More to come as we get nearer. But he was very honored to be invited. Perhaps we can get him to make us up a batch of fire pots like he did on the History Channel. -- 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.

Capt. Sterling Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Brilliant! "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 January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 No, I didn't. He's working on his new book and we were talking about other stuff. Next time I talk to him I'll mention it.
