I didnt stay Sunday, ended up leaving late Sat night. It was kinda disappointing,  I thought the festival would be larger then that.

There was hardly anything there.  A 2 hr drive is a long way for something like that.

But there is always Renn Faire, in 12 or so days :)

well we started out this morning and didn't make it because of the truck that went over the bridge.Rt.50 was backed up about 11 miles, so we turned around and went shopping at Annap.Mall. Maybe next year!

We had a ball and did some good business. 

The dingy race was fun as hell. . .some VERY creative folks out there.  The Beach Bash was standing-room only, to the point that I gave up any chance of getting photos of it. . .  it was bikini city. . .fun to see but not a lot of pyracy on the beach (although with the hot sun, I can't blame 'em).   

Saturday night was the Buccaneer's Bash at The Waterman's and it looked like half the town showed up and half of them were in some sort of pyrate costume.  A couple of bands played, there were costume contests, and much rum-drinking.  Our old friends from Pirates Choice Rum showed up and handed out free samples.  There was much me drinking.

Sunday was a bit more subdued with some ominous clouds coming in about noonish, so we packed it in early and enjoyed everything happening in town which we'd not gotten to see yet.  Downtown there were pirate booths selling garb and a pirate encampment on one side of the street and more of a flea market event on the other side. . .  place was teaming with folks.

For a first year event, I thought it was done up pretty well and the scenery was great.  You'll see it all in the autumn Pyrates Way!
