Answers from the Captains Quarters

Should I bring me kids?
Best to leave the wee ones at home as this sailn' venture not be rated [PG], it be rated [Arrrrrrr]!


How do I contact the Captn' ?
Message in a bottle at: info at boulderpiratecon dot org


Why not the offical day of the 19th?
Aye! Good question, because the bulk of this crew be celebrating the union of two fine pirates that weekend and the Captn' believe it best to sail with a full crew rather than sail on a "right" day.


Have ya heard the one about the Pirate and....?
Avast, aye be hearing every bloody pirate joke thar be. Tell me one more and ye be walkn' the plank!


What about me nurishment and drink?
If Pirates drink too much ale, they can get sea sick! A good Pirate eats as well as drinks! Ask your barmaid for some gruel to keep your strength up. A Pirate also needs plenty o' water to keep the 'ol bilge pump working properly. Yar har! Keep your intake of water up or you may capsize!


How do I get's home?
After a night of pillagin' you may be sufferin' with a bout o' scurvy. The ships navigator be aiding wayward pirates and will be sailing them home starting at 11:30PM. The last sail will be at 1:30AM. If ye be livin' in ports outside of Boulder, you be on your own!


How much does it cost?
The event be free, but you will have to pay at the ports, if ya want to help out the Captn's expenses, he be much obliged.


How do I play Pirate Poker
At each stop you get a new card, only 52 cards total will be given out at each stop, so take find yer pirate buddy and team up. The first stop you and yer buddy get a card, then the second stop you must show yer cards to gets another, continue on until the final stop where you lay down your hand and see's if ya have the best hand to win against the other pirates.

Captn's Blackjack challenge!
At the midway point you get to wager your worst card in a round of 21 with the Captn'. The Captn' will always hit on 16 and below. If ya win you gets to choose another 1st stop or 2nd stop card, if ya loose ya loose yer card and ya have to play poker with only 4 in yer deck!
