Iron Jon Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Looking forward to seeing all the rest of the pictures D.B. !!! I had a great time hanging out with the above group for the weekend. It was good seeing old friends again and meeting new ones who share similar interests. I want to thank Searle's Buccaneers for, once again, putting together a great event. Thanks to Jeff, William, Doug, Willie, Conrad and all the others for providing a great place to camp and play, and also providing all the good food, and plenty of powder that we got to burn during the battles. This is probably one of the best events that I get to attend and I will definitely be back again for more.

Sgt Johnson Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 A heart felt thank you for all who attended this years Sack of St. Augustine! The event was a great success! Without all of you that attended there would be no event. So Searle's Buccaneers officers and men would like to invite you all back again next year. For those that missed it, start making plans now to attend the event in 2013. More information to follow. "For God and the King" Sgt.

Sgt Johnson Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) New information update! We have a few changes that we would like to post here for those of you making the trip. The start time for the battle Saturday afternoon has been changed to 4:30 pm. The previous start time was 5:00pm. We are looking forward to the Fountain of Youth Archeological park hosting our camp once again this year. For those that have camped with us before, we will not be in our usual spot . Due to an unforseen scheduling conflict we will be camping out across the field closer to the water. The gate that we usually use will be closed and locked. We will be closer to the artillery area. The park has also just finished construction on a multi level watchtower. This is also right on the water. For those arriving by car parking is also different this year. Please use the old park entrance located at the end of Magnolia St. As you come through the gate you will see a grassy area on your left. That is the new parking area. There will be signs to direct you back to the camping area. Please remember to stay on the visible path/road when getting back to the camp site. Once you have arrived please see Jeff Johnson (Camp Master and logistics officer) so he can point you to your camping area. We appreciate your understanding in these last minute changes.

Capt. J... Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hello Mates.....Just wanted to say that this years raid was greatest...a big Huzzah to Jeff, William, Wille, Doug, and anyone else that was involved (English and Spanish)...This event set in the oldest city in the US, at the place that it really happened, and all the extrodnarily fine people that organized and participated in this event lends itself in my opinion to be awarded the Gold Seal of all pirate events. Even Robert Searle himself was there! It was my pleasure to serve under you Sir's at this event. Yo Ho....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
