| A Word on Dining: |
PLEASE REMEMBER
to tell MICHAEL that you want to dine with the group at
"LATE SEATING" ... we dine late seating for several very good reasons. * We want to be together!
* We have Parties to attend
in early evening hours!
* Classes sometimes extend
late into the afternoon!
* We want to be free to stay ashore when in Port.
* You can EAT earlier, food is served any number of places and pretty much any time you like; then come join us and have dessert, or an appetizer....
* THE POINT IS TO BE TOGETHER - FOR EACH OTHER'S COMPANY, AND JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT! |

PIRATE PATTER DEFINED:
Startin' Rules for Pirate Speak:
*Double up on all yore adjectives and ye be bountifully bombastic with yore phrasin': Pirates never speak of "a big ship", we be callin' her a "great, grand ship!"
*We never say never, we be sayin' "No nay ne'er!"
*Be droppin' all yore "g"'s when ye speak and ye'll be gettin' words like "rowin'", "sailin'" and "fightin'."
*Droppin' all yore "v"'s will get ye words like "ne'er", "e'er" and "o'er."
* Instead of sayin' "I am", sailors say, "I be."
*Instead of sayin' "You are", sailors say, "You be."
*Instead of sayin' "They are", sailors say, "They be."
*Ne'er speak in anythin' but the present tense!
