Paging Florida Pirates!


Red Sea Trade

Recommended Posts

I have been asked by the local Boy Scout Council to help with a Cub Scout day camp in Melbourne, Florida in June, 2009. The organizers are hoping to have a crew of pirates come in for an afternoon to teach the kids a bit about local pirates. Emphasis will be on fun, although they aren't averse to a bit of history thrown in.

The specifics:

Date--Friday, June 5th

Time--12-4pm, with a request for a 30 minute "show" around noon. We can set up as early as 9am, if we wish.

Place--Wickham Park (about 3 miles east of I-95 in Melbourne)

They can't pay anything (hey, they're Cub Scouts), but I will be serving up tasty period rations to those who can help out.

You can contact me directly at andrewcbatten@hotmail.com

Red Sea Trade

In days of old when ships were bold just like the men that sailed 'em,

and if they showed us disrespect we tied 'em up and flailed 'em,

often men of low degree and often men of steel,

they'd make you walk the plank alone or haul you 'round the keel.

Ahoy!

We know the spot well, since our entire crewe is based three blocks from the park. Unfortunately we're all at Blackbeard Festival that weekend in Hampton VA. Isn't that always the way it is. :)

First, I will try not to seeth with jealous resentment, that you lucky dogs get to go to the Blackbeard Festival.

Ah, but all is not lost! Any chance that the following Friday, 1/12, would be any better? The day camp runs two weeks, and they are looking to fill both Fridays.

I believe we're in John's Pass for their pirate festival that weekend, but I will need to check with the crewe's director on that!
