Lady Elaina Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Argggggggggggggggggg!! I just booked me passage to California for this wonderful event!! It came to Florida 2 years ago for the first time in like 10 years..(down the street from my house too!!) I still remember how me and the family swelled up with tears when we pulled up and saw the great tallships sailing in against the sunlight!! All you could see was their sillouette (sails and all) against the bright light. It was breathtaking. I didn't get to see all the festivities.. it is going to be different this year!!! Sniff sniff.. I am tearing up already!!! Anyone else be going??? Gabrielle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Elaina Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 I just bought my plane tickets .. I am so excited!! Like I said when the Toshiba event was by my house I missed it,,.. and it is coming back here like 2010 or something. LOL Here is the link to it: http://www.tallshipsfestival.com/ The page is outdated,,, disregard the dates! The new dates are September 11th and 12th. If you want a hotel by the marina.. you'd better move fast.. half of them are already sold out and I just found a moderate room right by the place. Hope to see you there!!!

Nigel Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I still remember how me and the family swelled up with tears when we pulled up and saw the great tallships sailing in against the sunlight!! All you could see was their sillouette (sails and all) against the bright light. It was breathtaking. Gabrielle, I know just what you mean. That was the same reaction as my first night in Key West for PiP, as we sat out on our own private pier, and watched the sun set. The water was the deepset blue green, and the clouds were ablaze with oranges, pinks, and reds, Just as it hit the horizon, a tall ship passed in front; a stately silhouette against a burning sky. Breathtaking, truly breathtaking. It was an experience I shall ne'er forget. Sir Nigel - aka "Sir Freelancealot"; aka "Ace of Cads"; aka "JACKPOT!!" (cha-CHING!)

Lady Elaina Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 I will be in the group that day hanging out with some PRP freinds. I can't wait.. I havent seen them since Key West!! I think some lasses are going too that post here! We will all have to meet up!! Nigel and I share the same opinion on Key West too. Kinda like being in a different world (I think they call it paradise) Paradise for pirates right Nigel?? And OHHH that sunset down there!! And we can't forget the Captain Morgan apple cider!!!

Captian Wolfy Wench Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Too bad I'm not out of the house yet, as I would be a part of a group and would go to these events (or rather, the ones further away from me) more often! I'm only a few months underage from legally owning a sword, but pyrate, right? *hides sword under bed* Yes, we must meet up! I want t' meet all the other pyrates out there! Hope ye'll be in garb, Elaina. Captain Wolfy Wench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Elaina Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 Sounds good Wolfy Wench!!!! I will be making a documentary this weekend with a professional Jack Sparrow.. he is so talented!!( He is Mr Depp's twin too)! I dunno if he can make this event or not. Got any pics of you all in costume to share?? Rumba Rue, Like I said I was invited down by the PRP this year to this event with the tallships... so I wont be inviting myself and a big group of non members. So we should all have a blast. Never been camping before.. I will be staying in a Hotel room next to the Marina. But will surely join in the after festivities!! :) Cheers!! Talk at you next week!

Captian Wolfy Wench Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 By the time the Festival rolls around, I'll be 18, and hopefully part of PRP! I really want to join, but you must be of age (of course). I wanted to ask a friendly member: how's it like? They seemed a bit strict and their rules scared me a bit, so I wondered if they're really tough graders or evaluators or anything. See you there!

Red Maria Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Wolfy we PRP folk are not a bad lot. If you look at the rules there basically safety rules. Sort of like the dumb things you read on labels, like don't stick live animals in microwaves. So don't worry. When you have reached your majority just come out and hang with us. We' re just a bunch of pirate after all! :) Red Maria The Soul of Indecency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumba Rue Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Ah me dear Wolfy, nay not worry 'bout the rules. They be like guidelines ye know. Heck, I've broken just 'bout all o' them! One thing 'bout PRP, we're not a bunch o' younguns lookin' ta bed the opposset sex (though some might), we be an older bunch, well seasoned, playful, fun, not much inta the polictics that beholden other groups - heck we're right tasty! 'Tis the main reason why we be asked so often to participate in special events that come to us as oppossed to them other groups. We not be strick on costumin', just so long as ye look like a pirate an' not somethin' from Fredrick's o' Hollywood, or cheesy rented costume. (Trust me, seen both try to come inta the group---arrrgggghhhh) So don't be afraid, an' do join us! Hey when be yer birthday?

Red Maria Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Time to bring this one back to the top. Who has made plans and who is thinking about making plans? Well I'll be there because PRP are the 'official' pirates of the event. But that doesn't mean the rest of you can't come in garb and have a good time!

privateer Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 sounds like a right good time. how does one go about securing tickets for the tall ships? I was at the one in san pedro a few years back and it was great. didn't see to many pirates about though. and never got a chance to join in the battles they ad in the harbor. email me when the days get closer. also is anyone going to buccaneer days in catalina? .........and where are they holding the cannon battles ? (if I can't secure a ride on a tall ship I might as well get real close and join in.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
