capt. hellraiser Posted December 22, 2006 Author Posted December 22, 2006 I've got to find out if any of my crew will go with me and what they want to do, but for arguement's sake how do I get a spot in the fort?
hurricane Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 There is a hostel in Key West, otherwise several budget hotels. We've stayed at the Southermost in year's past - the older part of the hotel is $109 a night usually - very reasonable for where you are. It's at the far end of Duval and a great stagger home after doing The Crawl. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

William Brand Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I've got to find out if any of my crew will go with me and what they want to do, but for arguement's sake how do I get a spot in the fort? Well, for arguement's sake, we would love to see you and your crew in the fort. We are strongly encouraging everyone to bring period kit for a 1720 or a bucaneer encampment, but you may bring clothing appropriate from 1675 - 1725. If you wish to do modern camping, there will be a place provided. Still, we would love to see you and your group come as pirates. The encampment atmosphere is not to be missed, so please follow the threads in this forum to see what you may need. Camping in the fort is free, after the costumes and tent of course. Do you have a large crew?
hurricane Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Ahoy! I and my crewe will be handling the buccaneer encampment, circa 1680, Port Royal, Jamaica. PM me for specs on what our crewe will be doing. We don't want to gum up either the 1720 careening gang's forum area with buccaneer planning. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Patrick Hand Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 how do I get a spot in the fort? Right now, there are two different encampment planed inside the fort... But if you want to set-up your own... then you'd have to check with Harry... (see the other threads ) hurricane and his group is setting up a Buccaneer camp William Red Wake is the Quartermaster for the 1720 Careening Camp..Creating the 1720 Careening Camp Both can be found in this section of the pub.... I'm not trying to be "pushy".... but I would suggest that you might be better off joining one of the two camp already established.... Heck... why have five different Pyrate camps..... when two really good ones works better.....
Spike Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 The Bone Island Buccaneers is a local pirate re-enactors group in Key West. Spike, Nigel Beau Dobbs, Jai, Dagger Dan are all members with new members joining this year. We have participated in the past and will be there again for the PiP in 2007 . We hope to help build a larger local presence and help in the pre-event advertisement. Also, some have spoke about visiting local schools, library, etc. Please let me know if we can assist in any way possible.
William Brand Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Excellent. Do you think you will be joining any of the encampments or staying in the modern camp? Either way, I would love to add you all to the tentative list if that's okay with you.
Harry Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 FYI... The Bone Island Bucaneers are the local committee that's helping organize the event on this end. We held a meeting last week, set some parameters of where we want to go, and will meet each month (and weekly as the event nears) to make sure the event is on track. BIC will be securing sponsors for the event to help with costs and doing a lot of the necessary "scut work" to make the event happen.

callenish gunner Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 sounds like a good group of souls to get this event fully on track and grow in future years ....let's hope they are more than successful!!!
Captain Jim Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Huzzah the Bone Island Buccaneers! Met most of you last year (last year? It was only six weeks ago!) Good of you to sign aboard. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
William Brand Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Thank you for the information, Harry. I second Jim's huzzah.
