Block Island
 

I received this message a few days ago:

Ahoy Mateys –

Every year the conquered subjects of Block Island rise up against our rule and need to be suppressed. Last years plunder, although severe, seems to have faded from their memories and we must return. The seeds of uprising have been reported at Yellow Kittens as well as The National. Our spies tell us that many of the locals, having nursed last year’s wounds are re-arming for another fight. So fight we will! I also have good intelligence that local law enforcement is looking for revenge…I say Ha!

The mission is scheduled for August 19 and 20 (Sunday and Monday) and we need good strong ships and brave crew to add to the assault. Join Captain Haughton, Captain McPherson, Captain Kolmer and a few other brave crews in this most dangerous and important endeavor.

Captain Haughton

This is planned as a Boyz trip...

Sounds like fun. It must get scary once you loose sight of land! :eek:

On a clear day, you're not out of sight of land for long.
We like to travel in a group as to never loose sight of the other boats. Safety in numbers calms those reservations...:cool:
What can get scary, is if the waves get so big your boat disappears in between them...:eek:

A fine crew of Skervy Dogs! Aye Captain, me thinks I like to be joining the battle...Dressed in battle black of course and flying the pirate flag dont you know....

Vary Cool!
T-Mone has his calendar marked as well...:drink:

I would be willing to partake in the tabocle.. Lets make a plan and don't forget to hit Ballards for some afternoon madness on the beach.....:drink: :drink:

Treasures you ask?

The map would lead us to check this location first.

Then for sure we'll try the other side of the island.

Third on the list will likely be a stop on these grounds.
