Ships Log: Saturday June 27th.
Greylocke, Annegetyourguns, Celfig and my self set sail to Norton Mass for The Wilslow Shire farms Renissance faire. This a faire that is located on a animal sanctuary. All proceeds go to the caring of these animals. The site is a wonderful place for a small renaissance faire.
When we arrived we were greeted by other crew members. LadyLuniaDreamweaver, Lord Charles, Tazzy, Sam Handwich, Lizzy, Hector the Protector Carmilina Evilina and Phelan. We were then greated by Captain Maavus T.Merit and his crew. Maavus is what you call a friendly ememy. Always a pleasure to chat and hang with him.
The crew had a chance to relax do some shopping and see other acts, which is hard to do when you are doing blackpowder demos. We were able to revist old friends and add some new ones to our list. A nice day for all. The weather held out long enough till end of faire. Aye the great sea gods are always good to our crew.
Next adventure: July 4th flintlockes, cannon, fireworks and food. Lets party like it 1699.

Ships Log - Saturday June 20th
The crew all met at The New England Pirate Faire put on by Pastimes Enterment.
We did a opening fire at 11:00 welcoming one of the pirate captains rowing in from a Skooner off shore. We the proceeded to welcome Black Dog Mary Steel and Perwinkle the Pirate to our crew by giving the ships docs and raising a tankard of mead provided by Rickkard Von Damage in welcome.
We then proceed to head to the Guild Tent and say Ahoy to our fellow Guild members Lady Reddy and Captain Lord Ruff of the GraveDancer. Off we proceeded to our 2:30 demo. There were 15 flintlockes and muskets on the line and 2 cannons. I took charge of the small arms and Captain Thighbitterwas in carge of the cannons. All went well. The crowd really like it when the Thunder Wenches fired off the Blunderbusses. Out of 15 weapons we had 3 miss fires. Not a bad percentage.
The rest of the day was walking around and chatting with other pirates and privateers.
Sunday was a rainy windy day and only a few of our firing line made it. They braved the winds and rain by doing a cut down version of the demo. Unfortunatelly There was only 5 weapons and 3 missfired because of the weather.
Blackpowder and water not a good combo.
Next adventure: Winslow Farms Ren Faire.
