Damn you get all the good festivals over there. Been doing some research into this period all month. Just completed a Queen Elizabeth / Francis Walsingham based letter of marque too.

Yeah well I wish more people were into Elizabethan piracy,,, the Renn faire community could use a healthy dose of PC maritime representation. Currently it's hardly measurable.

When I was in the States a couple of years back I went to an SCA function in my PC Elizabethan sailor kit. The most common question I got was: "what are you?"

Most of the comments I got were about wearing the thrumb cap..... "are you having a bad hair day?"

None of the rennies even knew what I was....

OH well......

I love thrum caps - they always get strange reactions. Mine is too hot to wear in the sun but I usually have it handy for rainy days.
