Great to see you Gary. smile.gif
Great website. :cool:

[Thad]

You have her looking good!! Looks like fun.

[Gary Bergman]

Aye Thad!..'Tis a fun adventure. for sure!..Actually, we just did quite a spectacular voyage complete with sea battles and 2 fort attacks for a 13 yr. old boy and the 'Make a Wish' Foundation...His wish was to 'dress his family as pirates and make a movie'..The DVD will be out soon, with a Northern and Southern California theater premiere.The SoCal one will be in Corona, mebbee I'll drop a little farther south, and hunt Dave up! Had a great haulout and replank this fall, now we're reasonably seaworthy and doing the Tallships Challenge 2005. We've an 'accord' with Pusser's Rum, might be the rumrunners of the fleet.

Any Chance you'll be on Lake Erie near Cleveland, Ohio next summer?

ARRRrrrrrr, 'n about how much gun powder would we be goin through during yer average sail training?

[Gary Bergman]

Hmmm, I was actually going to do the Great Lakes again next year, but the major funding source for arrival at Fort Ticonderoga fell thru, ending the continuation idea on the Lakes. As far as gunpowder, it all depends on timing. We do regular reenactment with the cannoneers at Ft. Reynolds, Angel Island, Click on Angel Island Photos (http://www.talesofthesevenseas.com/) and also other Tallships. Sometimes a 40 round day isnt uncommon..I now buy my powder at the same supplier as the Lynx, and I'll do an unofficial check to see which of us is firin' more powder....Tallships Challenge 2005 on the U.S. West Coast is our next focus, doing all California ports...Altho we are also warming a few irons in the fire with the film industry, which would alter our present schedule.

[Gary Bergman]

Aye! Stringed instruments are fun, but planking makes for rather thickened paws at times anymore! Now I pretty much stomp one foot on deck, and call it good!

[PaulC]

Forty rounds, now there be a captain we'd be likin to sign articles with. Do you have a plan for a dad with three kids in college? Arrrr even better, want to hire three kids for the summer...

[Gary Bergman]

Yaargh!..They be more like 'guidelines' anyway!...We always be in need 'o new powder monkies, rule 'o thumb bein' that if'n ye be shorteer than the touch hole spout, ye be too short to board! http://www.talesofthesevenseas.com/LWCannonFlareUp.jpg
