You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

We'll be aboard the Santa Maria in downtown Columbus, Ohio fund raising to keep her afloat and vital to the cultural enrichment of the downtown area of this inland city. There will be a full crew of reenactors aboard her with tours and battles.

If Perkeo is coming don't forget the industrial strength earplugs .........Don't want to say the lad snores but after that weekend in May the area around Columbus was busy re-interning the poor souls who's slumber was interrupted ;) ;);)

Looked like a casting call for another George Romero movie!!!

We're having a "Talk like a Pirate" weekend on September 19&20 at the Higgins Armory Museum in Worcester, Masstts. There will be costume contests, cutlass demonstrations and classes, craft workshops, and even some stories about those first pirates, the Vikings.

Talk Like a Pirate Weekend

A vast ye land lubbers! The pirates have taken over the Higgins Armory Museum. Come dressed as your favorite pirate. Games, crafts, cutlass classes, pirate talking workshops, and more! Prizes for the best dressed pirates. Don't be a bilge rat and miss this swashbuckling event.

We are still looking for volunteers to help make this weekend a success. So any N.E. pirates with swashes to buckle or knots to tie, give me a call.

Your Obdn't Serv't,

Cap'n Plaidpete
