A crowd FAVORITE every year!
Ahoy there, me mateys!

Land ho! Join us for an epic aftarrggh party in Sausalito if you're up for more pirate swashbuckling!
About the Ship:
This ship is one of the biggest in the SF bay. If you've ever visited the Bay Model in Sausalito or done any stand up paddle boarding or kayaking from that dock, you've probably already seen it!
The ship is used primarily as a hands-on educational platform kids, so it's a special treat for us to be welcomed aboard. Please be respectful to the ship and all crew on board while having your fun!

What to Bring:

- Cash to buy drinks on the boat
- Cash to tip our awesome sailing crew
- we highly encourage you to bring $15-$20
- Pre-sail party drinks for yourself or to share
- No outside drinks allowed on the boat... consume any drinks you have before or after the sailing
- Any extra snacks/food you want
ATTIRE:
We will all be dressed up from head to toe! Find those eye patches, arm-hooks, scarfs, and jewelry and go all out! If you need help with recommendations for local costume shops or are looking for a specific piece to complete your ensemble, post a message in the message wall. Members are often more than happy to lend out extras or pick up pieces for you during their own shopping trips.
There will be a prize for the most convincing pirate of the night!!
Do not wear high heels or any shoes that are unstable to walk in! We'll be navigating powerful seas out there and the deck can get slippery really quick. Rule of thumb: wear shoes you can sword fight in (because you likely will end up in a sword fight at some point during the night).
You can also dress in any other costume that fits the pirate theme! Get creative! Some suggestions we've seen in the past: mermaids, English sailors, sea witches, vampire pirates... the possibilities are endless!
 
And then our epic sail comes to an end... but the party doesn't stop there! We'll make our way into Sausalito to raid the bars for booze and booty at the AFTARRGGGH PARTY!

Now ye registered - ye need te brush up on yer Pirate talk, eh?
Arrr, so ye be wantin' t' go to sea an' ye don't be wantin' t' end up in Davy Jones' Locker. Then ye best be learnin' t' be talkin' like a buccaneer.
 Ahoy! - Hello!
Avast! - Stop and give attention. It can be used in a sense of surprise, Whoa! Get a load of that!Check it out or No way! or Get off!
Aye! - Why yes, I agree most heartily with everything you just said or did.
Aye aye! - I'll get right on that sir, as soon as my break is over.
Arrr! - This one is often confused with arrrgh, which is of course the sound you make when you sit on a belaying pin. Arrr! can mean, variously, yes, I agree, I'm happy, I'm enjoying this beer, My team is going to win it all, I saw that television show, it sucked! and That was a clever remark you or I just made. And those are just a few of the myriad possibilities of Arrr!
Once you've mastered the basics, you're ready to start expanding your pirate vocabulary. Try these for starters:
Bilge rat: The bilge is the lowest level of the ship. It's loaded with ballast and slimy, reeking water. A bilge rat, then, is a rat that lives in the worst place on the ship. A lot of guy humor involves insulting your buddies to prove your friendship. It's important that everyone understands you are smarter, more powerful and much luckier with the wenches than they are.
Briny Deep: The ocean
Bung hole: Victuals on a ship were stored in wooden casks. The stopper in the barrel is called the bung, and the hole is called the bung hole. That's all. It sounds a lot worse, doesn't it? When dinner is served you'll make quite an impression when you say, 'Well, me hearties, let's see what crawled out of the bung hole.'' That statement will be instantly followed by the sound of people putting down their utensils and pushing themselves away from the table. Great! More for you!
 Grog: An alcoholic drink, usually rum diluted with water, but you could use it to refer to any alcoholic beverage other than beer. Or call your beer grog if you want. We won't stop you! Water aboard ship was stored for long periods in slimy wooden barrels, so you can see why rum was added to each sailor's water ration' to kill the rancid taste. Drink up, me hearties! And call whatever you're drinking grog if you want to. If some prissy pedant purses his lips and protests the word grog can only be used if drinking rum and water, not the Singapore Sling you're holding, keelhaul him!
Lubber (or landlubber): This is the seaman's version of land lover, mangled by typical pirate disregard for elocution. A lubber is someone who does not go to sea, who stays on the land. More likely than not, you are a lubber 364 days of the year. But not if you're talking like a pirate! Then the word lubber becomes one of the more fierce weapons in your arsenal of piratical lingo. In a room where everyone is talking like pirates, lubber is ALWAYS an insult
Scallywag: What an experienced pirate would call a newbie
Swashbuckling: engaging in daring and romantic adventures with bravado or flamboyance.????? Basically, Jack Sparrow's every day existence.
Three Sheets to the Wind: Someone who is very drunk. One sheet is mildly drunk, and four sheets is passed out. We be aimin' for one or two sheets on this ship, otherwise we may have to walk the plank and ne'er return for future pirate ship parties.
