the Royaliste Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Well, this one's pretty big for me, and it's pretty big for pirates in general, but.....The Tallship Royaliste will now call the fantastic waterfront location of Pier 39 in San Francisco it's home port!! So, next time you are having that vacation of a lifetime, stop on down for a fullblown dose of piracy!......More news to come as the plan unfolds Phase one begins April first, and that's no foolin'!!

Bully MacGraw Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Congratulations Gary ! That is one step closer for the Royaliste to become the offical tallship for St. Francis Bay! Ed Those destined to hang, shall not fear drowning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Royaliste Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 Thanks all!..we did a fine day sailing by the Pier and Wharf today, raiding and attacking the ferry's, submarines, and durn near anything we could aim a cannon at, the tacked away smartly on a beam reach to cheering crowds...really fun for both us and the tourists More suprise raids to follow........

Iron Jack Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Pretty fun hearin' the "bum, bum, bum, . . ." of the runnin' feet on the boardwalk after we made our first pass. Quite the stampede, eh Cap'n? Iron Jack: Scourge 'o the Shores! Some mornings, it just doesn't seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps. - Emo Phillips Damfino!

the Royaliste Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Yes, indeed!..The present plan is to permanently homeport the Royaliste on A dock at Pier 39, and develop a pirate themed attraction. I just gave notice on a berth I've been in for 5 years,so....if'n it isn't kinda 'permanent', we'll be loadin' the starboard batteries and preparin' to come about! Only foolin', methinks, but we look forward to any and all pirates stopping by........We'll be makin' another suprise raid on the Wharf, possibly as soon as this Saturday......

Coastie04 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Congrats, Royaliste. Does this mean you got the foreign-hull waiver to make money with your fine little Canadian (if I'm not mistaken) boat? Also, in the case that I get assigned to Alameda for my first tour (I find out my billet in two days ), could that fine little hull possibly be at least a temporary place of residence for a newly commissioned Coast Guard butter-bar? As long as it's less expencive than alternative living arangements, I'd be happy to do my share of work and even pay a modest rent. Not to mention providing an extra hand for sailing whenever possible Coastie She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
