Ahoy Mates!
Pirate Day Regatta and Social
Pirate Captains are seeking Swabbies, Buccaneers, and others of ill repute for a day of battle on the Swift Creek Reservoir. Must have experience shivering timbers, swabbing poop decks and acts of mischief and mayhem.
For those of you who may not have experienced the organized chaos known as the Pirate Regatta, it is a somewhat organized contest of wit and strategy. Captains recruit as many crew as feasible armed with water guns, buckets and other water projectile armaments (NO WATER BALLOONS allowed) and engage in battle against their fellow Captains.
While thoroughly soaking your neighbors, you will also engage in parlay with other vessels in order to obtain valuable BOOTY. A BOOTY CHALLENGE is a pirate version of Rock, paper, scissors and Capture the Flag! The goal is to be the ship with the most booty at the end of the battle and/or possess the flag.
Of course, to the Victors go the Spoils! Prizes will be given for:
1. Capturing the “Flag”
2. Collecting Booty
3. Decorating your ship (of course your crew must exude the Pirate Spirit).
This is a family friendly event for pirates from 8 – 80 + years of age.
