The Pirate Party!

Final Pirate Notes!

Ahoy me Hearties! We are fast arriving the time when we must weigh anchor. The Party arrives in one day! Shiver me timbers! (Goodness!) The good Captain Kaare and I have spent many a laborious hour hoarding treasure, devising devilish plans to test yer skills, raping villages, pillaging women and doing all around pirate-ish things. With all that is to come, we thought perhaps to prepare ye young swashbucklers. Here is what ye might expect, come the long awaited day...

Pirates arrive at Gyro Beach (Kelowna) at 1400 hours (2 pm). Each crew must be manned by a designated Captain (feel free to delegate other ranks as well). When each buccaneer on yer crew has paid their fare of $5, yer crew will receive its "list". On this "list" will be "list"ed nine locations in Kelowna. If yer Navigator can see you safely through the rough sea of Kelowna drivers, ye will find yerselves faced with a challenge at each location. These challenges will test yer pirating skills and only the bravest may return. Are ye charming enough, stealthy enough, Pirate enough to complete them? If ye are, ye will receive a piece of treasure map as yer reward at each challenge. Piece them together, then follow yer map to the treasure! Yes, the buried treasure! But ye only have until 1930 hours (7:30 pm) to finish the test of skills. If ye have not, never fear! We shall not leave you marooned. Return to Gyro and we shall give ye directions to the final location where the real party will begin! (because now there will be Rum!!!) Ah yes, me young swashbucklers, it will be a party such as ye haven't seen since last years extravaganza!

The Captain and I are also issuing ye a supply list, because if there is one thing that pirates ain't, it's unprepared. (Although I do admit, I mayhaps mixed that up with Girl Guides).

The Pirate Party Supply List:

  • full pirate regalia
  • good footwear (ye will regret only bringing sandals)
  • warm clothes (ye will regret coming naked)
  • $5 each fer yer Captain and crew
  • an extra $5 per team (***if ye are underage, this does not apply, and ye better bloody well tell us before hand, or ye will lose that piece of map)
  • gear for buckling down (sleeping) if ye plan to stay the night
  • pirate juice! (booze) unless of course yer confidence is high that ye will find the treasure...
  • a good pirating attitude with yer pirating skills in full force!

So there it is me soon to be ex-landlubbers! Press-gang (kidnap) yer landlubbing friends and we'll see ye there!

Yer lovin' wench,
The Alpha Wench Angie!

Party Date Announced!

The Official Party Date was decided after a brief afternoon in the mess. Amidst a hearty meal of raw sea-life (sushi) Captain Kaare and Alpha Wench Angie have decided that Saturday, August 25th, 2007 will be an all day pirating event!

Egads, we pirates are lazy! But finally we raped and pillaged ourselves a web mastarrr who could author this bloody thing. So here it be me maties, this be this first rebirth of The Okanagan Pirate Party!

Last year we celebrated a great uniting of all the Okanagan's finest swashbucklers, thieves, adventurers, wenches and, of course, pirates (and suffered only one ass-in-the-fire casualty). Now again the tide is rising high enough that we can prepare for another such event.

Party Details!

Again this year there will be a mighty hunt for "treasures untold". For those of you who weren't told what the prizes were last year, let them be detailed here:

  1. 18 bottles of beer!
  2. 6 bottles of golden beer!
  3. Golden pistols!
  4. backup eye patches!
  5. Golden dubloons!
  6. 4 quarts of Pirate Juice (Rhum)!
  7. 8 Litres of wine!
  8. 30kg of (gold spray) painted rocks!

Of course, all this bounty was hidden in a mighty chest and buried in a secret trove!

There was, and is, more...much more. But, we must be clear on one detail hither forth; This year The Party will cost you and your crew $5.00 each...last year our (Angie's and my) coffers were run dry by the extravagance of The Party.

You're a damned fool if you think this is too much to pay! Think of what it gets you!

  1. A map to help you find the treasure!
  2. An opportunity to find the treasure!
  3. Exemption from being Keel Hauled!
  4. A Pirate CD for your adventures!
  5. Free Beer for your Designated Captains (upon arrival at The Party)!

A damned fool to say, "no"! ... A damned fool.
