We attended our 1st Official Pirate Gathering today on
Dock 6 here at Brunswick Landing Marina. The Gathering was presided over by Pirateers
Sir Jake (aka “Nubs”) and Amy from Sailing Vessel “Gypsy Song”.
The Gathering came
to order with a blast from Sir Jake’s flintlock pistol and was followed by the
singing of the Pirate Song “Drink, Drink, Drink”. See the picture below for the
words.
The Topic of the Gathering was “The Evils or Virtues of RUM”. It
went something like this:
Rum is evil. Let’s all drink to that. Rum makes you happy, let’s
drink to that. Rum makes you sleepy, let’s drink to that and when you sleep you
can do no evil, so RUM is GOOD! Let’s drink to that! Here’s to the RUM my
friends.
Pictures from the Gathering.
Now that just ain't fair! We've drunk rum religiously since leaving Dock 6 and nary a pirate in sight! It tastes good, but . . .
