Ships Log - Friday and Saturday April 24th and 25th
Eight crew: Myself, Charles Grecklocke, Phelan, Lord Charles, Lizzy Argent, Hector the Protector, Tazzy the Pansy Pirate and Sam Handwich, all met at the Pirate Convacation for the opening cermonies in New London Conn on Friday evening. We all hung arround after for the music of the Brigands, the Bawdy Buckneers and the Crimson Pirates renewing old freindships and making some new ones.
On saturday we were joined by another crew member Wilfric Blacktongue. Busy day. Lectures on Battle tactics, Field Artillery, Scars and wounds and Cannon 101. Picked up several more saftey issues on blackpowder.Got an oppertunity to speak with Captain Kidd of the Freeman. We laughted about the history involved with both our ships. Greylocke and myself spent alot of time with Captain Tom Crudbeard and Bloodthirsty Barbarba from the Dark Rose exchanging stories and information. Much was learned. In the evening we all changed into our finery and went to the Pirate Ball. We all danced once again to the music of the Brigands and the Bawdy Buckneers. The show got quite bawdy and funny tward the end. The rum was a flowin in typical pirate fashion.
Crew left for home Sunday none the worst for ware. But then we are a tough bunch LOL.
