Good Luck, Captain. Yers is a lovely ship and I'm sure the east coast pubbers will come to love ya as much as the west coasters do.

~Here's wishing ye fair winds, calm seas and no hurricanes.

.... "It's a Wrap"!!!!!......(At least for us!)..Yep, RR parrrt in "The Pirating" is complete, after going to sea last eve on a gorgeous sunset to get some closing scenes that just wouldn't have worked otherwise...Once again, it was a pleasure to work with and see a few well known pirates in these waters, and we aboard ship wish the filmakers from 'Open Road Productions' well on the finish and completion of this fun, interesting little gem. We're now in full decomissioning mode, having dropped all the yards,gaffs, and sails in preparation for the haulout to ship Her to Ohio next week...Thanks, 'Pearl...If we get time, we'll try to post a few photos from the filming.....Aye!

ROYALISTE Soon to be 65 M.P.H. to Windward...........

Fair winds and calm waters Gary. And no road problem too. I'll miss you and Kathy and the rest of your motlly crew. :)

Aye Capt'n be safe and sound.

If I can find the time and $ I will try to make it out during one of the legs to help crew.

And thanks for the fine years of sailing up in the Bay.
