Gute Morgan Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 You bloaks are PAYING for hotel rooms? I need one too. Maybe we can pirate the Ramada. If that doesn't work, as a fallback, how much of a disadvantage trafficwise and crap like that, would it be to stay at a place three or four miles out? Pirates Of Pensacola If ye can stay fer free with friends or relations in the area, or ye can find ye cheaper lodgin's four knots inland, 'n' ye have some knowledge o' navigatin' the area (or at least can read an infernal chart), bunk where ye can do so 'n' saves yer booty...that be Morgan's wisdom on the matter. :) At yer bloody service, Nathaniel "Gute" Morgan Buccaneer, Brigand, & Cutthroat Plundering the Spanish Main Since 1701® "Refuse that, 'n' ye've seen th' last o' me but musket balls."

morgan_thelimey_grimmway Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Check southwest airlines. www.southwest.com It all depends if they fly to the airports that you're looking for, but they're usually really freakin' cheap, and you can pick which flights you want. i fly with them really often, 'cause they're so cheap.

Cutthroat Kate Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Ahoy, fellow scallywags! I have not had a chance to post on this forum for a while. However, I must say that I attended the Blackbeard Festival last year and had the time of me life! In fact, I had such a great time I hauled off and officially joined the crew of the Kalmar Nyckel, which I first cast me eyes on at last year's festivities! Aye, it was love at first sight, I tell ye!! Of course, I will be at the Pirate Ball on Friday night. (Frankly, I am not sure if that is a "pirate ball" or a "pirate brawl," although with our crowd, they are the same thing!!) Also, you can look for me on the ship---I will be helping out with tours on Saturday and Sunday. Just ask for Cutthroat Kate. Is a group planning to meet at a certain time at Hampton? It would be great if we all could meet to raise a pint at the ball or sometime during the festival. Smooth sailing til then! Aye, mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see the members o' Blackbeard's Crew on the Stage at the Pirates Ball, Just let us know yer from Pyracy.com and we'll get together ta raise our flagons!! The rest of the weekend we will be running around doing sea battles and other skits. The period dinner on Saturday night may also be a good time to raise another pint. See ya there!!!

Duncan McGuyver Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Well the festival wa a smashing success again this year. Hats off to the Blackbeard Crew for hosting the event, and allowing some of us "visiting pirates" to join in the fun. It was great to see some of the PP people there, in particular Stinky Tudor (and family) and Indigo Jack and Jim. I will have the pictures I took during the weekend posted shortly, and will provide a link.

Black Dog Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Twas the most fun I've had in 30 years. Me first er' pirate event I arrived with little idea what to expect. The welcome of the pirates in camp was great - even fer us tourists. Wish I could claim to be a pirate - maybe next year. By the end of the weekend I at least looked like a pirate.
