capnwilliam Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Ahoy, shipmates! My First Mate and I are homeported in New Orleans and were wondering if there are any events coming up in the area over the next few months, or any crews to sign aboard? Anyone involved with the Baratarian crew at the Battle of New Orleans re-enactment? Also, we're taking a vacation in May in St. Augustine, Florida. Any particular points of interest there for us?

Any particular points of interest there for us? Well, Cap'n m'darlin', you just missed a spectacular event in Key West this past weekend -- Searles Raid. There aren't any pirate events in St. Augustine in May that I'm aware of -- but I recommend that you send off a letter to me good mate Mark Tingen at: photo2u@attbi.com --he helps to organize pirates for events in St. Augustine. He'll be able to tell you if anything is happening. As for doin's near New Orleans, the Contraband Days in Lake Charles are up and coming. See: http://www.noquartergiven.net/calender.htm for more details. As for Baratarian crew, in the Nov. NQG we had posted a missive from Renato Beluche lookin' fer trained gun crews for the Battle reenactment (which was in Jan. so 'tis already passed this year) -- but mayhaps you'd like to git hold of him for future events.

capnwilliam Posted April 1, 2003 Author Share Posted April 1, 2003 Well, there ye be: one post, an' th' Rose sends me three good leads! I have heard of the Contraband Days; will look into same. Mate Jan and I did get to the Battle of New Orleans re-enactment. There were pirates there, but the crewmen from the U.S.S. Carolina were the ones shootin' off th' big guns (maybe Rene wasn't able to recruit the trained gunners he wanted, or maybe it was just not their turn to fire). I will check out Rene and Co., also! Much thanks to ye! Cap'n William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
