Set your recorders. Looks like it will be a good and interesting show and looks like it is all new. ( Maybe it was one of the shows I was polled on...I dunno but it sounds like it!)

Anyway here is your HEADS UP" to check your local listings ....I THINK it is set to come on at 8PM EST...I know it is on the 12 of March on the National Geographic Channel.

Welkies will try to keep advised as I see updates on it. Just saw it advertised a bout an hour or so ago.

I HOPE it is as good as it looks.

If you've been following the restoration of the QAR this will be good too.
And a link for the blackbeard movie

These are being talked about on Pirate message boards as well.

Also for pirate geeks check out the guys at Talk Like a Pirate Day's new book. Forward by Dave Barry. Looks like a chuckle.

Blackbeard and Barney Fife. The most famous Carolinians (that aren't really Carolinans)

I think, in honor of this show, we should re-enact the Ocrakoke Orgy.

Who's with me???

News of a Pirate on a Jimmy Buffett forum? LOL Who here isn't a pirate? I'll be watching the show. I've always been facinated with pirates. There is a very cute t-shirt that a SCUBA shop sells that says. Divers and Pirates get all the booty!
