Finally was able to get in touch with Tornado Rose, who is one of the key organizers of Rusty Scuppers Pirate Daze in Westport, WA. Nice Lady. She's unfortunately going through a rough time right now - her husband has been hospitalized and is very ill - so it's been kind of hard for her to run the festival and take care of her personal business. Don't I know what that's like!
Because there's not going to be a Portland Pirate Festival this year the officers of The Outrageous Fortune are looking for other ports to pirate in this season, and I've heard Rusty Scuppers is a nice little festival, so we're going to bring our own particular brand of piracy to Westport this June. I'm looking forward to dusting off all the detritus and setting up our camp again, after a dormant season.
I'm quite proud of our big heap of junk; it's the realization of a vision I had several years ago, and was finally able to realize 4 years ago with the help of dedicated officers, crew and friends. "It's much easier to build a shipwreck than a ship", was my thought, and it's true. We can configure our camp to whatever space is available, and fill it with the most amazing salvage. The broken masts are real eye-catchers, and people have said they can spend hours looking at all the details and watching us layabouts enjoying the space. It's great fun and I'm looking forward to lounging about in our shipwreck again this season!
