Red-Handed Jill Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Aye - Iron Hand and Nancy are about my height and I'm average height for a woman, so Patt is indeed in the "Tall Pirates" club. Certainly past six feet tall...
Patrick Hand Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Certainly past six feet tall... Well 6 foot three..... Unless I'm laying on me back drinkin' rum.... then I be much shorter........... Funny thing.... Iron Hand is about average height for what Pyrates and Sailors were back then..........
Mary Diamond Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Well, Patrick, it seems my hubby and Yak will be in good company at PiP! Hubby is 6'3", and Yak is well over 6' ~ The Tall Pirates Club is GROWING (yeah, I know, just ignore me ~ ) Oooh, shiny!
Ransom Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 My husband, Chain Shot, is 6' 2" . He's new to pirating, and Ojai will be his first event. So, another member of the Tall Pirates Club. Uh, Mary, who or what is Yak? ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?" ---Captain William Kidd--- (1945)
Capt. Sterling Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Sounds more like a bunch of Grenadiers than pirates... "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
LadyBarbossa Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Sounds more like a bunch of Grenadiers than pirates... Oh, dear Lord!

Jacky Tar Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Cascabel, when the tall fellas pass out we just use 'em as spars. We had a main mast crack, an Patrick was rummed up, so we spliced him t' the main mast. Made it in t' port, under full sail, fer the lad even woke up! Aye, another short pirate on deck.
Iron Bess Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Naw.... Ye both the tallest in stature! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...

Patrick Hand Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 When I was at the Northern California Pyrate Festaval, carrying my Doglock Musket..... Some woman commented....... "Over compensating for something...." I just replyed back...." No.... just 'appy ter sees you again......."
