Captain Jim Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Aye, ye must be providin' more data (would a Pyrate say "data"?).

Black Dog Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Captain Pern Sir, Good to hear that the fest planning is well underway. I have been marking me calender and collecting more kit items to use while there. I may even be able to come up with me own tent if I knew there was space in the camp. And Pern - have ye heard any more about that little project we were working on in August? Willie the rumrunner You can ner' have enough sand in yer stew.

Willie the rumrunner Ahoy there Willie the Rum Runner, I have heard a bit about our project the Emerald Cutlass. It's not going to be called the Emerald Cutlass any more. I am not at liberty to provide additional info but it should be completed sometime around the festival, hopefully before. I had to go to a reshoot of one scene last week. There are a couple of reshoots happening still. By March it should go to sound production. I'll keep you posted as more info becomes available.

Capt Thighbiter Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Sir, we, the Brigands, stand ready and looking forward to the upcoming festival. If all goes well, we are bringing four cannon with us. Our same two from last year , one that I made from a bronze E-bay casting and another bronze 2 pounder, en-route from England as we speak! Lets hope the old family vanster can handle the weight o' 4 guns! Aye, twil be a grand time. http://thebrigands.com Rob't Thighbiter Bloody Bill Marley Butch Cannon THE BRIGANDS Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman of Fortune Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 This really is a fun event... I call Tidewater my home and was there for the 2000 event (along with Opsail 2000). If you are planning to go, please remember that there is a lot to do in the whole area.... not just the Blackbeard festival. Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown and Virginia Beach are well within an hours drive and Norfolk, Portmouth, and the Fantastic Mariner's Museum in Newport News are all only about half and hour. Thoug early June, It can be bloody hot that time of year so plan accordingly. Also, the very next weekend is Norfolks "Harborfest" which usally has tall ships, music, and great food....

Cap'nPern Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 I fear I owe several pyrates me humblest apologies. As the festival was arriving I was involved in far too many projects in preparation for the festival and neglected to visit the pyracy pub so I did not get your messages. I was able to get a traverse board and a cross staff made for navigation demonstrations. A rope ladder for seamanship demonstrations. And got a new hatch and a paint job done on my boat so The Cap'n & S'Steele had a place to stay. Anyways, Callenish Gunner I apologize for not getting back to you but I checked and did not have any PM's from you. I am glad ye made it and hope yer trip was successful. It was a Grand and Glorious festival even with the foul weather on Saturday. It cleared up in time to have a roust about in the encampment for good rounds of chanties and comraderie. It was great meeting all the new people that were there this year and look forward to seeing everyone down in Beaufort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkie McDonough Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Was a grand time! I traveled there with Callinish. My first experience as a pirate! Callinish has a pair of lovely pistols that I may need to save me duckets fto buy. I can't guarentee that he will allways be willing to loan me a few each time I'm pirating. I did help him out by display his wares and doing my best to model them proudly for him but ...alas, the gen'ts wern't lookin at my flintlocks ...most of the time!

TheBlackFox Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 My first visit to said festival was incredible! I loved not only the whole Blackbeard show, but how responsive both the local folks and those that had a mooring were. Some of the dressed up boats were VERY Pyratical! I brought my lovely wife and she helped me keep my ale cool and the Crimson Corsair (Kenny) and myself entertained on the docks many visitors to the festival. We had a good routine together. . .mayhaps I should volunteer next season to help with the street entertainment. . . good pirate jokes and we made lots of friends. You can check out the photos I took at: http://homepage.mac.com/blackfoxofde/RenEv...toAlbum111.html There will be a full article in The Pyrates Way magazine in the Fall with much more information and some incredible photos. . .
