$The Buccaneers
of
Bjornstad$ Northern California Pirate Festival Vallejo, California |
 |
Bjornstad members are always looking for another opportunity for a little fun. So ... how could we pass up a pirate festival? It's surprising how much pirate gear we already had on hand. Okay, so maybe it's not that surprising.
The Brethren of the Coast | |
The festival sail unfurled |
Raise the skull and bones! |
Let's see what this port offers... |
A hardware store for pirates |
A tool chest, of sorts |
An axe for every occasion |
She sails under a flag of unknown intention... |
Until she opens fire |
Showing our attention to detail ... |
... and commitment to authenticity |
Did someone mention a "Treasure Island"? |
Dressed - to kill |
The children have a fine ship to themselves |
But they won't be sailing on the next tide |
Even the belly dancers are well armed |
An invitation. To what, isn't immediately obvious. |
The fair lasses sing a fine sea shanty |
There's an undead pirate on our starboard. Or maybe he's just not ripe yet. |
The mermaids will be right back |
They've just gone ashore for some liquid refreshment |
One should know one's way around a blade |
Even piracy is subject to inflation |
The family wagon gets under way |
But being carried is always better |
The zip line provides a great view from above |
And has its own right-of-way |
There's a ship needing a crew |
But getting her afloat won't be easy |
A toast to a good day |
 But maybe not this |
