Ships Log: Pirate Fantasy Fest

Avast all ye rogues n' wenches,
Here be an event fer all those who love the uncensored life style. The Hedo Pirate Fantasy Fest held at Hedonism 2, Negril, Jamaica on Oct 23-30. I know many ofl ye pirate loving souls who have dreamed of visiting the Caribbean, this be a chance to vacation as a pirate on the white sandy beach of Jamaica, home of the English Buccaneers, such as Henry Morgan.

Hedonism 2 is a 280 room resort built in 1982 on 22 acres, it has a nude side and a prude side. It has a repetition of sex and fun, as many nudist, swinger and fetish events are hosted here. This is an all inclusive 7 day vacation that included, ground transportation, air conditioned hotel room, 3 full meals a day including drings, special pirate activities, regular Hedonism activities, outdoor activities such as sailing, windsurfing, snorkeling, kayaking, volleyball, scuba diving, tennis. The cost is $1500 per person, the only thing you pay extra is the airfaire. All the restaurants have a dress code. Most of the guest that visit the resort never go nude or swing. This event is really design for couple vs single individuals. Hedonism is more of a couples version of Club Med, which is more single orientated.

Me n' my lovely assistant, Caribbean Pearl, will be putting on a Pirate Fashion Show, teaching naval cutlass sword fighting, giving some classes such as Pirate games, Why pirates did what did, Pirate Weapons, How to talk like a pirate. I will also be doing a Hot Pirate Babe Model Search and photo session.

Ships Log: Searle's Raid on St Augustine, 3-6-10

Rape, Pillage N Burn,


In 1668, Capt Robert Searle n his privateers from Port Royal sailed under the cover of night into the harbor of St Augustine to loot the silver ingots held in the royal coffers of the Spanish. They killed 60 people and pilaged the goverment buildings, churaches n' homes. The devaststion wrought by these blood thirsty pirates prompted Spain's Council of the Indies to build Castillo de San Marcos.

The re-enactor who run the re-enactment are much more colonial type than pirate types, as the whole city seem to dislike pirates. They consider themselves privateers, but from the Spanish point of view, they were viewed as pirates, for they burn the town down.

Ships Log: Pirate at the Pier, 1-23-10

Avast ye scurvy krewe,

In fer a penny, in fer a pound. Life wouldn't be complete without par taking of the Krewe of the Knight's of Sant Yago Knight Paradein the historical Ybor City.


Here be the Ye Mystic Krewe of the Santa Margarita who I also took a group portrait fer.

Bead throwin' from floats that look like pirate ship, if ye be drinkin'g enough. Which be the main purpose to this fine celebration. It's grand when an pirate event doesn't try to be PC. As pirates are a mean n' wild bunch.

Ships Log: Tybee Island Pirate Fest, 10-9-09

Treasures o' Plenty,

It be very rare that dar promise of a grand event exceeds the results, but in this case the Tybee Island Pirate Fest be the best pirate event that I have vended at. Yes, it be more of the street fair type n' not a pirate re-enactment event. There be tons of pirate loving soul in search of pirate booty n' more than willing to pay fer it. Picture here be my new best clients.

I brought tons of new merchandise; both quality pirate garb as well as affordable costumes which I thought I would sell lots of, bit it be the quality pirate garb that sold better. Anger storm rushed in n' poured a flood of rain on us fer 25 minutes, so me two booth wenches, Pearl n' Molly, when out and played.

This is the first time I went under my new vending name of Pirate Fashions, since I wasn't doing photos. Here I be training my other booth assistant in the proper method of applying Molly Roger Temporary Tattoos on wenches. I won't tell you of the story how the local constable almost put up in jail for the weekend fer drunk n' unruly conduct.

To start a new venture with Pearl as my partner in vending at pirate events in the south eastern seaboard. This be the Second Annual Treasure Coast Pirate Fest n' the first real one I have done as am outside vendor since startin' up me shop in St Augustine.

It rained while setting up, but stayed sunny fer the rest of the day. Tons of landlubbers showed up n' purchased many Molly Roger shirts. Arrr first venture be quite profitable in a very slow month fer me. Here be my partner manning the booth in one of the few slow times. I am trying to work on my Pirate Fashion line at festivals, as I don't have the resources to do a pirate photo studio in two locations at once.

Down below be one really grand land ship, I want one fer my birthday, arrrgh!

Ships Log: New Pirate Group Forms, 7-14-09

Mutinous Dogs,

New groups form out of old groups, that be dar way of the pyrate world. Many of the most successful pyrate krewe split ways with their original krewe, so be with the Swashbucklers, Pirates & Buccaneers Social Society of St Augustine. They held dar first meeting at Santa Maria Restaurant, which be a cannon shot from the Black Raven Pirate Ship. I say that 2 groups will alway be better than one group, as competition forces both groups ta be better.

Here be dar Mayham brothers, William the shorter one on the right, be the new Captain of the Krewe. We had 3 mates from the Georgia Cutthroat Titans travel ta attend this first meeting.

Ships Log: Pirate Dinner Adventure, 3-21-09

Curse me fer a lubber,

Since Pearl n' I won a free ticket ta Pirate Dinner Adventure, we finally got around to goin'. I heard many things about the dinner show n all of them be true. As a 5 year old yar might like it, but as a pirate aficionado, I hated it! It represents everything I hate about thinly veiled business makin' money from the good pirate name. The actors n' staff people wear polyester costumes, don't talk like pirates, talk a lot about gypsies and princess, sell only cheap plastic stuff. It was a singing musical with a lot of acrobatics n' almost no sword play. The little sword fighting that be done with fencing foils instead of cutlasses.

Ta worst part of the experience was the mandatory $5 tip fer person for the bad waitstaff who served school cafeteria food. There was very little interaction between us n' the staff. Everyone was there to pick up a paycheck n' not fer the love of piracy.

Last year I did well vendin' at dar Fantasy Fest Street Fair, this year be a disaster in that I didn't even make me booth fee. On top of that it rained buckets fer 20 minutes at a time. Dropped my treasured Canon camera in the water n' couldn't take any pictures on friday, so I have no pictures at the Rum Barrel Pirate Bash Costume Contest.

After my camera dried out for a day, it begin working with some issues. So I did get some images from a hard day of shooting nude wenches walking around in public, who be more than happy to let ye talk photos of them. This be one of my favorite way of viewing art, yarrr!

Ship's Log: Two Harbor's Buccaneer Days: 10-3-08

Why is the rum always gone,

Cause all the pirates be partyin' at dar Two Harbor Buccaneer Days. I took the local ferry, the Catalina Express on friday. The tall ship, Lynn, made an appearance. I spend the weekend unloading me Molly Roger goods & calendars ta the hundreds of partying pyrates.
