Mishaps and Memories

Jul. 1, 2008 - Pirates ahoy!

This coming weekend is the repeat of last years Pirate weekend.... it was absolutely brilliant last year, made by the weather, and so I decided to repeat it this year...

 

What I didn't count on was that a load of people saw the pictures from last year and have suggested that they too will be coming along....

 

At the last count we have 22 boats, with 25 kids attending, and god knows how many adults.... probably in excess of 50....!!!!

 

Weather is looking suspect at the moment with occasional rain, and perhaps a little breezy, so that may thin things down a little.... but even so...

 

We've changed the format this year.... no kids treasure hunt, but this year will be the 'Pirate Olympics'!

 

We have acquired sacks, eggs, spoons, a giant football, we plan a beer and chocolate relay race, and much more besides....

 

The boats will all be sporting Jolly Rogers, and many of us will also be dressed overall....

 

Can't wait.... hope the weather is kind!

About Me

We've moved this blog. Please now find us at the link below in the last entry The trials and tribulations of yacht ownership, and maintaining the family's joy of sailing on Morgana, our Beneteau Oceanis 400. Watch and read how our plans develop towards throwing off the lines and heading into the sunset... it'll take time though!

My favourite pictures

a current picture that I like. I'll change it when I feel like it!
Seaweed on the davits piccy!

Where in the world am I?

(and where we have spent at least one night - added as I get round to it!)
