5th Annual Pirate Festival, Ft. Myers Beach!

This past weekend Ft. Myers Beach, FL held the 5th Annual Pirate Festival! Sonja and I spent most of the day wandering around the Times Square area and Old San Carlos Blvd enjoying the sights, sounds and fun of the festival. There were pirates, wenches, lads and lasses, dressed to the hilt in pirate garb, and there were parrots, rats, boats, cannons, swords and guns!

Lots of grog and fun could be found around every corner, and the gun fight between the land lubbers and the pirate ships was marvelous!

Pirates are a strange and wonderful group of folks, even the "theatrical" kind. We have always been into "piratehood" and of course were thrown into the full thrill of it when the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies came out.

I wear a pirate ring and a pirate bracelet and really enjoy the stories and folk lore.

Hope you enjoy the pics and videos of our morning and I have added one from my evening Dolphin/Sunset Cruise which topped off my day.
