As we continue to make progress on Heron and daydream about the future, more and more pirate themed events are presenting themselves to us. This is very cool, but it’s causing me to re-evaluate some of my long-held opinions about the boundaries between reenacting, performing fiction, and “edutainment.” Confession time: “Pyrates” have been the bane [...]

In my travels and studies over the years, I’ve collected a pretty decent library of maritime works.

I’ve put some of my photos & video clips from Ogdensburg together into a slideshow movie. I had a little trouble with the soundtrack, so it might be somewhat choppy at points. Bear with me. If the sound is still botched in a day or two, I’ll take it down & try again.

The Merganser and crew spent last weekend in New Brunswick, Canada, up at the Restigouche 1760 event. It was a long drive, about 9 hours, made longer by the excessive heat and lack of air conditioning in the truck. We got there just in time to get nailed by a heavy squall. The rain felt [...]
