We've just reached land after a mighty good time at Fells Point in Baltimore Harbor, site of the 3'rd anual Pyrate Invasion (and Pub Crawl).
The lovely lady to the left is Ma'am Marie, one of the best dressed ladies (and a comely wench to boot).
Those who came in costume were invited to board Baltimore's own "Clipper City" tall ship, then sail into and storm the Broad Street dock. With so many pirates in the ship, the doors could not open, so when we made the dock, we had to jump the gunwales.
Hundreds of spectators were on the dock - and we gave them quite a show - but as to storming the port, it wasn't quite the "storm " we intended. The organizers had left a space on the end of the dock for us to land on, but no path through the crowd to run. Had we "stormed" as intended, many a young lass or laddie would have met the briny deep and Davey Jones!
