the Royaliste Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Royaliste,Are you going to be in the waters in that area during this time? Aye, I'm still prowlin' the Pacific!...In Channel Islands, but we were at the Institute last month filming('twas us who recommended their vessels to the History Channel)....Sailin' down that way at the end of this month, and first of Feb.(me eldest daughter, granddaughter, and son in law'll be crewin' for their vacation)....We'd consider comin' down, but it'd take an invite, and the Institute dealt our insurance carrier bonkers recently....Also, betwixt the two of 'em, they kin muster I think three guns, and I'm an eight gun boat now...(mountin' two new six pounders this week, with really spendy purpleheart wood carriages.)..Shipping Royaliste to the Great Lakes May 1....Royaliste' former owner, and me pyrate'n' crony, will be launching a replica of a rather famous French Privateer, 'Le Revenant', hopefully in time for the summer's 'Tallships Challenge', and I'm gonna loan 'im half 'o me guns so's he kin be a fair match, then...well, two mean little privateers cruizin' the Eastern region, lookin' for trouble, eh?

Sounds like a grand time to be had on the Great Lakes this summer. Hoping to get up to Green Bay for the Tallships myself to see the show.

the Royaliste Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 It'll be a week or two 'till the new carronades are called 'finished'..(heck, they are shippin' the tubes this week!)..five weeks overdue from the factory (they didn't like the first two they cast this time, as they are well informed on the fact that we fire the bloody hell out of 'em)..We,ve gone thru four digital cameras this year, so...I'm now reliant on others for photo's, as another isnt on my horizon..We'll get a few new pic's soon....Unfortunately, we're under legal orders not to publish anything from the recent 'True Pirates of the Carribean' History Channel filming.The folks at A&E don' have much of a sense of humour, eh?

Captain Jim Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Apparently not. Ironic, that a production company can make a show about pyracy, and then fuss about being pyrated.

That be a separate event on Feb. 11. The Dual of Privateers be on March 18 & 19, 2 separate sailing times each day. I'm not sure if I'm going yet or not. Wish I could go for both, but looks like the Dual of Privateers be the best bet. It lines up with Spring Breaks. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind.
