Crew party and Memorial Service
On Friday July 3rd we received distressing news. A fellow crew member imp - Ships Master Punner passed away from a heart attack.
imp would have wanted us to continue with the ships party so we did. We decided to dedicate the days festivities in honor our fallen comrade.
Plenty of food and drink. During the day all the flintlocks and cannon came out and we got more crew up to speed on the safety procedures. A few that do not have weapons got to fire and loved it. In true crew tradition we all got in full garb and taped the demo with the normal amount of shooters. We then proceed to the fount of the house and did an all weapons ( total of 15) firing line in memory of our comrade.
The service started with our ships Chaplin saying a few words. It was then followed by a moment of silence. I then called out the command for each shooter to take a step forward in a rolling thunder with all but the blunderbusses. Then in true crew style all three blunderbusses stepped forward for the final salute together. We set off every car alarm in the neighborhood. imp would have loved it. We then had the honor of Captain Maavus T. Merit and his Firstmate sing the "sailors Prayer" as a final good by. Here is some of the service:

imp, May the wind always be at your sails, may the seas always be calm and may your tankard always be full. We will all miss you. -
Your Captain and Crew Mates of the Black Rose II.
