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.
