    Sorry I have not beenable to get up there for any of the workdays. The League is keeping us pretty busy. Great job on the float guys! I will be there with the Dodge Power Wagon trainhorns up and running and Billy Bones holding down the passenger seat and flying our pirate colors. Do we have a driver? I will be bringing the 5 of my pirate flags that I have mounted on poles so if anyone besides me and Foe wants to carry one let me know. Cant wait to see you pirates and wenches again...

    Seems the vessel we commandeered was poorly constructed and we be making repairs even as we sail from harbor Friday dusk. The defeated French Cap'tn Jacques La Rotte was so terrified of us when we attacked, he climbed to the crow's nest and remains there now. Show your support and arrive early Saturday.....We be posting lot's of those portraits after our return. Spy on all the festivities at AP&W sites. Fair winds!

    I will be attending but not parading. Instead I will be sitting in the shade somewhere along the parade route and will be taking pictures for the website.

    Bloody Sam and I are both hoping we are able to attend this event. The completion schedule on our house being rebuilt will play a big part in it.

    I took the 9 AM off the calender. Due to the traffic that day, arrive as early as you can so we can shuttle cars to the end of parade and give folks a ride back. 2.5 miles to Mud Cats our finial destination!
