the Royaliste Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 If you like Tallships, spring, and Mock Sea Battles, then this is your week to come to San Francisco!..From April 2, and April 6-10th, sail with the like of the Privateer Lynx, Lady Washington, the Royaliste, and the Bill of Rights. Details here....SF Sea Battles click on 'Raids'.........
Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Just reading about the Lynx and Lady Washington in the Grays Harbour Newsletter. Looks like a fine match indeed. Trying to figure out when the best time to catch the crew. I believe you and I had talked about Oxnard in August. I do hope we shall meet then. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind.

the Royaliste Posted March 19, 2005 Author Posted March 19, 2005 Aye!..We're still on schedule for Oxnard, barring something ugly like engine trouble (all good at present!)....This April 'Spring Fling' really looks promising, as 4 ship battles just don't happen regular enuff......

Patrick Hand Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Wonder if the swivel gunner from the Lady Washington will be there again.... He was lots of fun to shoot at.....
the Royaliste Posted March 19, 2005 Author Posted March 19, 2005 Wonder if the swivel gunner from the Lady Washington will be there again.... He was lots of fun to shoot at..... Most likely not; those crews change up pretty regularly, and back and forth....Seems as tho' the bulk of the Lady's crew are aboard the Bill of Rights this month.......
Patrick Hand Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Rats..... I was kinda looking forward to shooting him again..... OH WELL...... next target.....
the Royaliste Posted March 30, 2005 Author Posted March 30, 2005 And, just in time to greet the 'Lynx' on Saturday, the Royaliste' new main squares'l, the Main Course, has arrived rather timely from Kingston Ontario.....All new sails forward now, so show us that horizon!!..(yeah, and fill out a 'cannon permit', and...)

the Royaliste Posted April 6, 2005 Author Posted April 6, 2005 It's surely been an interesting week here on San Francisco Bay with the visitations of the Privateer Lynx, Lady Washington, and Bill of Rights...This weekend, April 9,10 should be something just short of spectacular, as the above mentioned along with the 'local pirates' aboard the Royaliste will sail to a great four ship sea battle!..If you are in the area, try the Garrison at Angel Island for a wonderful view!..Now, where's that powder monkey??
Jonathan Hawks Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Be seemin all em ere events lately bein on the Western coast. A pity it be indeed. Wishin I could be attendin. I be enterin me own ship and show em how its done. Shoots anything that moves!!
the Royaliste Posted April 11, 2005 Author Posted April 11, 2005 Well, as we put away the tops'l along with the weekend, it was one hellava grrrrreat time doing battle with some worthy opponents on a lively San Francisco Bay this weekend!!..The Lady Washington was looking fine in her colors, albeit a bit conservative on the powder magazine, and the Bill of Rights made for an interesting sight, altho' I'd have loved to see some sail up.....A humongus 'attaboy' from the Royaliste and crew to the Privateer Lynx for an excellent weekend of sailing and exchanging a proper amount 'o gunpowder!!...Fair winds, mates, and we'll see you in July, so keep ye're powder dry, eh?........ ROYALISTE Defenders of Pirate Integrity on San Francisco Bay......
Black Hearted Pearl Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Any pictures, Captain? ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
the Royaliste Posted April 12, 2005 Author Posted April 12, 2005 Sadly, no..I no longer have a camera, and e had our hands quite full sailing and manning the gundeck shorthanded, but...the folks on the Lynx and others got some great ones, mebbee they'll send us some...
