Joe Pyrat Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Ahoy mates, I be new in port and wanted to say my 'ellos. I live on a boat and am cruisnig south along the Intracoastal Waterway, currently in port at Charles Towne (Charleston) South Carolina. I've been shooting black powder since 1976 and have recently become certified as gun crew at the Charles Towne Landing Historical Site, which looks like the beginning of a new addiction and is of great concern to my better half. My original foray into reenacting and muzzle loading was related to the Rocky Mountain fur trade, but I've always been interested in pirates and the history related to the latter part of the Golden Age, roughly 1670 - 1725. I am now in the process of acquiring my rig and trying to remain as historically accurate as I can, but still having fun with it. As a sailor, I am very interested in anything having to do with sailing ships and the age of fighting sail. I also love doing research and would be interested in any advice as to how and where to find obscure historical information. With that I'll take my leave ye, The Charles Towne Few - We shall sail... The sea will be our empire.

Boarders Away Volume 2 I must note that anybody that be darin to be drinkin Pryat Rum has done opened a special place in me heart. And since it be open could ye be gettin me one neat and in a large glass? Fair Winds, -Greydog Edited January 26, 2009 by Graydog Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!

Joe Pyrat Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Mad L, it be to bad most of ye seem to be on the left coast. I got about 8 bottles of rum aboard and would greatly enjoy having some company emptying them. I be planning on making port on Bone Island for PIP in '09 so if any of ye make it we can see how much of the worlds rum supply we can consume.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Ahoy there Joe! I don't climb into the Crows Nest much these days, but I saw yer post in the armory and I am cetain we have crossed trails during the Fur Trade days somewhere. Ye looks mighty familiar but I cannot remember from where. Good to have ye aboard sir, and welcome. Bo (White Trash Fur Company= WTFco.)
Joe Pyrat Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Capt. Bo, I did my fur trading up in South Dakota with the trappers out of Rapid City. It's been a few years ago, well, maybe a more than a few now that I think of it, and I didn't have the beard back in them days. Had my Hawken made by a gent named Gary Whipple, a muzzleloading gunsmith who runs Ol' Ephraim's Outpost just outside of Rapid City. Mad L, if you make it to PiP next year we can see about depleting the rum supply on Bone Island. There's a great little rum bar there known as the Rum Barrel. In fact, it might be interesting to have a Pyracy Pub get-together at at the Barrel. What think ye mateys? If ye be intersted I can do the legwork once I get down that way in a few months. Why is these islands called the "Dry Tortugas"? 'Cause them bloody pyrates drank all the damn rum, that's why! :angry: The Charles Towne Few - We shall sail... The sea will be our empire.
