Schedule

Some events, noted in Red, are critical to the success of the Pirate Adventure - the times for these events are not negotiable and will not be bent or adjusted to suit your schedule. With a large number of people and their luggage to move around, you're just another pirate.

While La Beale Isoud and Tillikum are at all times under the control of their Captains, they are at the mercy of wind, tide, and currents. Some events, noted in green, are approximate times that may change at short notice.

Wednesday 11 August 7:30 pm The Purser signs off on the cargo manifest. If your gear is not in the Purser's Office (the Fish house - contact Ladyfish) at this point, you will be making your own arrangements to ship it to Pirate's Lair.

Thursday 12 August
The Carpenter and Second Gunner sail the jolly boat to Pirate's Lair to make ready the fortifications and crew's quarters. All accomodations must go with them on Thursday. No tents or sleeping bags will be taken on board ship.

Tillikum arrives from her secret port...

Friday 13 August 12:30 pm (Tentative time - check for updates!) With cannons firing, La Beale Isoud and Tillikum sail. At this point, the Captain and crew will laugh heartily at latecomers just arriving at the jetty. Sorry, due to the tight schedule, we will NOT wait or return for latecomers!
