tiki freaks, meet pyrate freaks

Kahukini,

About 5 years ago, the Mrs and I spent a day at Catalina Island. Sometime in the afternoon, a group of pirate costumed folks entered the bar we were drinking at. They were particitpating in some kind of scavenger hunt. As a matter of fact, every 10 minutes or so a group of these folks would come in doing the same thing.

We were puzzled about the whole thing of course. Nevertheless-- it looked like they were having loads of fun! They arrived in a large pirate ship and were loud and boisterous (similar to us TC'ers when on one of our barcrawls).

Could they have been part of this group?

SCD -- What,no signature? PirateCaddyDaddy or something?

Did you guys check out the link? Their message board is similar to ours but everyone talks like Pirates (ala SCD's post above)...

Sounds like old school Klingons.

Yup, that looks like them. Not that I recognize their faces or anything but their website fits the description of something we witnessed. It did look like they were having a blast!

So, these guys & gals imbibe in rum drinks and nautical bars/restaurants? Hmmm...sounds very familiar...
