30+!!!!
I guess you'll be entering the 'brute force' category at PirateFest'00.
Are those all 'real' Pirate ships or did you make them up?
Or are you (sadly) counting all of your rowboats as Pirate 'ships'? If
so I have well over 1,000. Or so it seems.

I like that coinage, "PirateFest '00."

In all seriousness, though, I'd be up for a trip to VA to engage in • piratical
endeavours--the only problem being that I don't exactly have a wealth of • "proper"
pirate hulls (4 Armada Flagships and a Flying Time Vessel).  The closest • thing I
have to a genuine pirate ship is a recent ironclad, the _Olympus_:

Hm, it's sounding like Virginia would be a reasonably central location that
most of us could get to. I really need to start building so I can have a
firmer idea of just how many ships I have (a very quick estimate shows at
least 30 hull sets of actual pirate ship hulls, plus 9 or 10 10 wide hull
sets, plus who knows how many 6 wide, and then there are all the rowboats
and canoes - I won't try and count the 5848, 4011, 4031, etc that I
have...).

Hmm, we never did manage PirateFest '00 (though we had a good time at
Brickfest 2000). Should we try for Piratefest '00 (can we manage it
before Lindsay heads off?)?
