The Raleigh Sailing Group
International Talk Like a Pirate Pre Party
http://sailing.meetup.com/111/calendar/8598435/

The Raleigh Sailing Group is a group for people who enjoy sailing and other types of boating as well. Of course we cannot be on the water all the time, so we have other activities as well! Anybody who enjoys being around or on the water is welcome to join us.

Well you've all heard about this in "Pirate speak" but here are the activities we have planned in regular every day English. That way everyone will understand just how much fun International Talk Like a Pirate Weekend can be. The timing for the pirate theme corresponds with International Talk Like a Pirate day. It's a real day, September 19th, actually and you can learn more about it at www.talklikeapirate.com We have four events planned! A pre-party, a pirate theme party, a day on the water on sailboats, and a cookout at the marina after the day on the water. The pre-party is a registration event. We have made arrangements for discount hotel accommodations at the Bridgepointe Hotel, which is adjacent to the marina, for both Friday and Saturday nights and arranged for a DJ for the pirate theme party Friday night. Our DJ can do Top 40, Beach Music, Oldies, Rock n Roll and Karaoke, it will all be available Friday. The fee involved will basically cover the party Friday and we will provide burgers and dogs, chicken for the grill, and chicken wings. We ask that everyone bring a dish to share for the Friday party. Saturday September 20th will be a day on the water. We will leave the marina around 10:00 AM and meet up on the Neuse River later. We'll tie the boats together and be able to go from boat to boat sampling the hospitality of each crew. The crews are asked to bring their individual provisions on board as well as enough everything to share with their captain. We will return to the marina Saturday evening and be able to once again enjoy marina life around the captain's lounge with each individual providing their own refreshments. You may choose to stay at the Bridgepointe Hotel Saturday night or make your way home. We encourage you to stay an additional night and party with us pirates!
