Kenneth Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Any follow ups on this event?? How was it? "Without caffine, I'd have no personality at all"
Black Hearted Pearl Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 The event was twice as big as last year as word of mouth expands this event. The twice daily black powder battles were tremendous and the Time Bandit sailed away victoriously after every battle. The days were warm, but the nights were cool and clear. The moon glittered off the water with a soothing glow. The crowds were delighted and I know I spent a bit of coin, especially at the Poppin Grog (donuts and kettle corn, evil combination). Look for next year for it to grow even more. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
