Black Hearted Pearl Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I don't recall that there was any real wind, so there was nothing to fill the sails. Motoring was the only way to go that day - well, towing was the only way to go that day. If it rained on Monday, which reports for members said it did, then a low pressure system would have been moving into the area on Saturday and Sunday. Therefore, there would have been wind. Also, a 15ft with 6 sails does not need that much wind to sail on a mountain lake. You can't do a cannon battle, sail and have 5 adults on board, but you could sail back to the dock. Unless you wanted to spend more time with the 3 lovely lasses trapped on yer boat. :angry: ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind.

Rumba Rue Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I can honestly attest to the fact there was no wind to speak of during the whole weekend. So sailing without a motor was a problem. Secondly, since I did spend Sunday night up there it did rain, but more like passing thundershowers, drying in between. Most likely it did rain for longer periods after I left Ojai and was headed home. Thirdly, I've gone to many, many Ojai events, spring and fall and none had the crowds that were there as this event did. Goodness it was absolutely packed on Saturday! On Sunday lighter, but I think most of the vendors did well, or at least those whose prices were within the reason of those who could afford anything. I did come across some vendors whose products were way over the sky and to the moon with their price tags. (geesh who the hell would pay over $200.00 for a clay-made bottle with a cute design? Certianly not any of the people at that faire!) I've never seen so many piratical outfits in one place. Some were really good (aw shucks, someone had to do it ) and others were quite questionable. But everybody had fun no matter what! Well I've got about three weeks to finish up making my wares to sell at the Escondido Faire, but I'm taking it easy until then.

Red-Handed Jill Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Here are a few pictures from the battle. It was a bit of a melee, so I think it was a bit tough to take pictures. These are mostly of the cannon battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Handed Jill Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 That'll teach me to be slow in replying. Jack and I have thought about getting a couple of those. How has yours held up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Bess Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 That'll teach me to be slow in replying.Jack and I have thought about getting a couple of those. How has yours held up? It's held up really well. Better then I suspected it would. I use it in teaching and have used it several shows. Real sturdy and the blade can take quite a beating without much damage. My students find the grip comfortable and even though it's a basket hilt, it does not restrict your wrist movement too much which I appreciate. It also cleans up well with the rust eraser as the blade tends to darken if it's left out of it's scabbard for any length of time. The highest quality? Not on your life but for a work-a-day sword it's pretty nice. How's it working for you? Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

Red-Handed Jill Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I don't have one yet. I'm glad to hear it holds up reasonably well, though. You got it at Fireblood? Our sword rack is already full (although a couple are more decorative than others) so we need to be making a second one, since we keep finding swords we like.
