the Royaliste Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Yep, that's right!...Startin' in the late spring, Tallships will be sailin' downcoast!....'ere's the schedule so far, with more ports being added. S.F. isn't listed, but will be on July 28....Tallship Challenge 2005 A lot of these ships are waaay big, but we're just right, so....If'n you've an interest in sailin' aboard the Royaliste in this period, and nothin' 'more interestin' has turned up for her, I'm not a 'charter', but will be booking limited guests for these events. Keep posted thru the Pyrate Ship See ya on the Big Blue Briney, eh?
Rumba Rue Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Aye then, perhaps I shall have the pleasure of meetin' ye then should ye all be sailin' down my way! Rumba Rue ** **
the Royaliste Posted October 26, 2004 Author Posted October 26, 2004 Aye! It will be a pleasure, lass...especially since we didn't cross paths last year in Ojai!......Truth known, I'd be comin' down this fall with the 'Lady' and the 'Chieftain', but there's this financial issue of mindin' me other 'ship'...
Captian Wolfy Wench Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Yeah, I saw th' news on the ASTA website awhile back, and I was just so excited that it is the Pacific Coast. :) If'n yer sailing down this way (Los Angeles/Marina Del Rey/Long Beach), then I'd love to hop onto the Royaliste! Thankfully they added LA to their ports recently... I would ahve been very sad indeed if they missed us this year.
Jolie Rouge Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I was before the mast durin the 2002 festival. Definately a grand time, says I. Need ta find me a bosun's billett fer 2005.
the Royaliste Posted November 2, 2004 Author Posted November 2, 2004 I'm really hopin' they hurry up and ink a few more California stops. As it stands now, there's 11 days or so betwixt S.F. and L.A.....I'd be likin' a few more stops, seein' as we be a mite smaller operation, and in need 'o huntin' a few dubloons on the way!....Thar be some big boys playin' this time, but for authentic scallywag type life ondeck, we're a mite haRRRRRd to beat!.. (somethin' to be said for a functionin' gundeck, as opposed to one where they 'occaisionally' drag out a gun or two for the passengers)....dependin' on personal business this winter, it may just be a 'sendoff' for the Royaliste, with the Panama coast in her nostrils....Stop on by for some rum, mate, or a sail.....
the Royaliste Posted December 2, 2004 Author Posted December 2, 2004 Here's what I know as far as the scheduling thus far. I'm only listing California ports, as I don't believe we'll beat to windward for a start. July 28- Aug. 1-San Francisco Aug. 11-14-Los Angeles Aug. 17-20-San Diego Honolulu and Monterey scheduled on request by SSF; we may do Monterey for a stopover and restocking of whatever we missed leavin' homeport. ROYALISTE Terror 'o the Pacific
the Royaliste Posted December 3, 2004 Author Posted December 3, 2004 Excited as 'ell, Cap'n! Aye!...After a long battle, I finally chased the bigger leaks outta your bunk!..Now thar be new stripey covers on the matresses all around! sleepin' in a nice bunk is a good thing........
Desert Pyrate Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Y' know... come t' think of it, yer right. I don't believe I've ever slept in a bunk other than the starb'rd fo'c'sle V-bunk. Didn't occur to me before now... but glad it's dry all the same!
El Pirata Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 That's definately a mighty fine pic of the Royaliste. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.
lorien_stormfeather Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Pacific Northwest Pyrate Alert! Just thought I should add that Tacoma, Washington is also on the schedule.

Additional web sites: with pictures of ships: http://www.tacomascene.com/tallships/. Freedom Fair: http://www.freedomfair.com/ Wow! Only three ships are confirmed for Tacoma? And one is a local? They invited something like 50 --- even the Seattle one had a couple of Class A's a few years back... I was hoping to take the crewe up north for the event, but I'm not sure now... may just scuttle our plans and head to a port with more ships... Hard to compete with Sail Boston 92...

Black Hearted Pearl Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Those sound like good dates for me and me brood. What are you charging to sail on the Royaliste? ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
the Royaliste Posted February 25, 2005 Author Posted February 25, 2005 Those sound like good dates for me and me brood. What are you charging to sail on the Royaliste? Bloody 'eck, we'll just keep the fittest of the youngin's, and sell 'im off in Tortuga! ...........Actually, we'll most likely follow whatever protocol the fleet sets up, but you'll be the first on our guest list........
Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Aye Aye Captain, Sounds like a grand time not be missed and August in Arizona is the best time to be escaping to California. Hopefully, we will be meetin ye soon. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
the Royaliste Posted April 6, 2005 Author Posted April 6, 2005 Moving the ship to Pier 39 put us off the internet, and after checking 'in' briefly today, it looks as though the Royaliste and Privateer Lynx will be doing Battle Sails at the Oxnard stop of Tallships Challenge 2005...We'll be givin' 'em wot for this weekend here too, but be warned, scallywags are headed your way!.......Aye!
lorien_stormfeather Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 update on ships attending the the Tacoma, WA venue over july 4th. http://www.tallshipstacoma.com/ships.html Wish the Royaliste was heading into our waters.....
