Ransom Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Oooo, jealous I am. Earlier in the year I was aboard the Lady Washington for a day of hoisting sale and firing broadsides at the Lynx, not to mention the Mill Casino—a fine rattlin' of glass windows that was! The ships got so close that, while taking pictures I felt the blast of hot air on my checks when the Lynx fired back. Loved it! They were in Coos Bay, OR. Had a great time, and thanked the crew of the Lady next day with a big cake. Killick was her Captain then, and a fine gent. ...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.

Pirate Petee Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Diego, you and Rummy going? What day? Do you go in pyrate garb? Ale stands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumba Rue Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 The Tall Ships festival IS NOT a re-enactment situation. It is completely different. No there are NO ALE stands, no liquore of any kind sold there as far as I know. This is a MODERN DAY event, and PRP is the ONLY pirate group there. It's where we really get to interact with the crowds, and I do mean crowds! The event is free to the public, there are no fences surrounding anything, there usually is one or two Security Guards at night, which PRP gladly feeds (hey we know how to get 'chummy' with the right people). There is only a very small amount of room behind the scenes for tents. Many of us, have gotten hotel rooms several months in advance (like me) who know the situation. Some people have slept in their vehicles if they can, because space is so tight. It can get hot, but even worse the humidity is high, as you are right at the ocean. So expect to sweat. At night, it can get cold and you'll find heavy wetness on things that haven't been put under cover for the night. There are food booths there so you can buy a good hamburger or hot dog or other foods and soft drinks. Anything else you want to know about this event, let me know.

the Royaliste Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 Excited???...Bloody Bloomin' 'eck, why, we're locked, cocked, and bloody ready to rock, matey's!! Besides the obvious fact that the Pyrate Ship Royaliste hasn't been outgunned the entire summer, why..it's about Pyracy,eh?! We've extra gunpowder stored, and as I type, the scallywags from the crew are droppin' off the chase truck in Dana Point, (so, thar not only be pirates in them waters, watch out for the lean, mean Hemi-powered Rumble Bee in the parkin' lot!!).. We are sailin' on the mornin' tide, hidin' in Mariner's Basin in Mission Bay, stoppin' in Oceanside next to the Jolly Roger, then on to Dana Point!...Since we are truely a pyrate ship year in and year out, not just when 'it fits', be prepared to party,and....if you've the rum, courage,or dramamine, any costumed scurvey dogs seekin' shelter are welcome on RRR deck to sleep, as we've a full ship's cover to keep it 'cozy'....

the Royaliste Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 Actually, we're in pretty good shape, all considered!...Busy shuttling stuff ashore to my pickup, makin' a wee bit more party room..Just bring a smile and a piratical intent, eh?.....On a different tack, we've had a bang up time with the other ships this summer, and some of the 'pranks' have been hilarious...That said, keep in mind that we put on a historical artifact display for people's education worth mucho's thousands of dollars, and some not replaceable end to end accross our decks during public hours. Some Kiwi friends with the best intent hurled a few water balloons, breaking a historical document on privateering encased in HUV glass, and discolored and rusted a saber blade from 1771 I aqcuired from a Smithsonian benefactor....Fun is fun, but be a tad bit adult about it..Discrepancies will not be tolerated.Now, where's the rum run off to???
