Apparently, it’s back open now, but with a different theme and name. It’s called “Treasure Cay Island Grill and Bar” (though they pronounce it incorrectly as “treasure kay”, vs “treasure key”, which is actually an island, so you can call it “treasure island island”, oddly). They’ve also dramatically replaced all their draft beer with the cheap americans, such as miller lite and bud light, presumably because it’s more tropical (it isn’t).

However, they do have an interesting menu, and the inside, in my opinion, looks much nicer without all those dollar bills stapled everywhere. I intend to go and at least eat there to see what it’s all about.

Will us shanty boys be there? Who knows, at this point. Looks promising, but no details.

Meanwhile, stop by Hurricane Patty’s.

Tis be International Talk LIke a Pirate day, it is!

If the ship go before the wind, or as they term it, betwixt two sheets, then he who conds uses these terms to him at the helm: Starboard, larboard, the helm amidships... If the ship go by a wind, or a quarter winds, they say aloof, or keep your loof, or fall not off, wear no more, keep her to, touch the wind, have a care of the lee-latch. all these do imply the same in a manner, are to bid him at the helm to keep her near the wind.

Lift the skin up, and put into the bunt the slack of the clews (not too taut), the leech and foot-rope, and body of the sail; being careful not to let it get forward under or hang down abaft. Then haul your bunt well up on the yard, smoothing the skin and bringing it down well abaft, and make fast the bunt gasket round the mast, and the jigger, if there be one, to the tie.

Such a day, rum all out- Our company somewhat sober- A damned confusion amongst us !- Rogues a-plotting - Great talk of separation- so I looked sharp for a prize- Such a day found one with a great deal of liquor on board, so kept the company hot, damned hot, then things went well again.

Here’s Google in Pirate Language.

See you at Hurricane Pattys.

This weekend, our fair city has it’s 443rd birthday, which, as far as American cities go, is the oldest. In your face, Colonial Williamsburg! There are heaps of activities planned, and from 5pm to 8pm, us dirty pirates will be over at Ripley’s Believe It or Not, believe it or not. Come hang out with loads of people, pirates like us, and guys with 8 fingers and four eyes or cats with two heads or a dude with a horn growing out of his head or that really tall dude from Alton, IL or an actual mermaid, which is really half of a monkey so it hardly counts, and someone who can poke his own eyeballs out.

You like how I said "Ahoy" and "Mateys"? It's all very piratey. And, did you notice the skull and crossbones up there in the corner? Yes, yes, that's all piratey as well.

You see, we here at the internet headquarters of a bunch of guys who dress funny and sing old songs. Really old songs.

And we have a blog!

So, as you can see, using words like "ahoy" and "blog" on the same website is clearly, CLEARLY, bookmarkable. Also, in the coming weeks, we'll be building this already entertaining page, but in the mean time, here's a picture of Scott.
