Bill - I am a HUGE pirate fan!  In fact, each year, I host a pirate party at my home in October.  Last year, the theme was, "Where Pirates Go."  I cooked up food from the Caribbean.  This year, I'm doing Greek pirates.  Did you know that Greece was inundated with pirates for over 2500 years?  This year's title, "My Big Fat Greek Pirate Party."  Great pictures, Bill!

Hi Myrl,  Didn't know you were into the pirate thing so much.  Our festival is a great family event and such a blast !

Margaret:  Thanks for stopping by.  I think Captain Sparrow was seen cavorting with some local wenches !

Hi Chris:  The pirate boat has cannons and they are very loud. Thanks for stopping by.

Pam:  The authenticity of the costumes is amzing and people love them walking around and mixing with the locals !

Bill - Like I said - VERY serious about pirates.  Did you know there is an actual International Talk Like a Pirate Day each year.  Here's a blog I wrote about it:  "Aaaarrh - Don't You Forget"
