Dutchman Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 hey mates, the Blackbeard Festival is two weeks away. Its going to be hot and busy. I have the responsibilities of the long boat Explorer for the weekend and coordinating living history on Sunday. If anyone is interested in crewing on the Explorer over the weekend or putting together a living history program on Sunday please let me know. Also, not publicized, but went over well last year was the Sunday morning dock walk. Hopefully we will be doing it again this year. We will set an agreeable morning hour and walk the rocks and piers pulling trash out of the water from the weekend. Last year we pulled five bags the DAY AFTER the clean the bay day! COUSIN ROBBIE is still missing and i'm tired of tripping over his stuff so I'm selling it off. As well, the Foundation has collected a few nice items that will be for sale during the day at the "thieves table" located at the Foundations tent. If anyone has any extra or not used anymore gear, or maritime decorations they would like to donate to the cause, bring it on by. All proceeds go to the Foundation. As a special treat, COUSIN ROBBIE'S sea chest is going to be raffled off Sunday evening. This is one of Bo's boxes and he sent it full o goodies! (THANKS BO, you're awesome!) Here is the catch. Being cousin robbie's chest, he collected a lot of odd pieces in his wanderings and i'm not sorting it out. there are some hand made items, some project pieces, pieces for future projects and some unidentifiable cousin robbie trinkets. the box is locked and no one knows whats in it. Tickets will be available at the CSF tent over the weekend. $5 a chance, buy as many as you like, may send you home with a box of goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Right then, this could be a rather terrifying investment "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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchman Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 ok, lets swing the ship back on course..... thanks for the offers for help mates, greatly appreciated. Let me know where you would like to fill in. The first move will be Friday morning at 0800ish. We're launching, then need to get the boat out of the marinas way and over to the docks. Friday afternoon, be at the boat and ready to go at 1245 and 1645. Saturday, 1045 Sunday, 1215, 1415 I'm hoping to have the rig up and be under sail for some of these. We will be doing some sailing lessons if this happens. We can also do some coxwain drills since there is interest. Here is a link to the HMS Richmond's site where you can freshen up on the rowing commands. http://www.hmsrichmond.org/oarcmd.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
