Ahoy, Me Hearties!

Tis I, Capt'n Crafty McGrim, a simple lurker for a long time here.

Having been a renter with very little room, not to mention being in the Navy gave me less room (I often lived aboard ship, to save money), a Tiki/Pirate bar has been just a dream.

But after carefully saving me doubloons over the years, my circumstances finally changed enough to allow me to pilfer a new lair of me own.

So thusly armed, I decided to open an account here as I've the space to finally build me Pirate's dream Tavern.

"Cap'n Crafty McGrim's Crimson Cutlass Tavern and World's Inn"

First my location:

I live in the New Orleans area. Tis Very Piratey indeed.

Me Lair/House's location has a dock and direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. Allowing myself and various pirate brethren to come and go in the dead of night for dark and dangerous purposes.

The other reason for the getting a dock is because currently I am in the process of getting restoration work done on my three masted frigate (it's currently out of country in dry-dock) a fine 60ft steel hulled sailing vessel of 37 tons -will get photos up sometime late next year when it's much more presentable.

Aye so it will eventually be berthed here at here at the "Crimson Cutlass Tavern and World's Inn", savy?

Location, I plans to build me Inn here, set upon a new a second set of moorings over the the dock.

It will be a 2nd floor, elevated deck level upon which The Inn itself will sit, overhanging the dock itself and provided easy access to my Vessel while in port.

Currently the idea to use this Home Depot Shed type to sit on the currently nonexistent 2nd level and be the base for the inn itself after much remodeling of course.

As of right now I just have some concepts and have never done anything like this before... after all I be a pirate and I just made my ship's carpenter walk the plank last week.

So I thought I would take me quill in hand and chart myself a log here.

I do this in order firm up my dark and sinister plans and receive some mentor-ship from the good brethren here, that I might complete me task in a timely and semi-coherent manner.

Right now still currently in the process of moving in this but should be done by mid Feb. I am stuck in a Rental lease and am waiting for it to expire.

So will keep the thread updated with the move and begin with small things like my attempts to learn Tiki carving, of course, the ongoing Inn building, updates on my ship's restoration progress and eventually sailing up it here from South America to it's berth at the World's Inn.

Arrh!!!!

Since storms are common here in the Gulf I may be replacing the shrubbery also with non invasive Black& Blue Bamboo along with Buddha Belly Bamboo. I think it sort of sets the stage for what will eventually be the Inn in the back.

I want to Thank everyone for all the years of enjoyment of looking at Tiki central!
