Let’s be pirates! Pirates’ life for Friends.
Aarhus, Denmark hosts Tall Ships Races 2013
Oh, and they were singing sea chanties.
Kicking off with a real-life sea battle (ok, maybe it was just show, but it looked cool) the first leg of the annual Tall Ships Races in Europe features 13 countries, 4 days, 10,000 young, bright-eyed, fresh-faced tall ship sailors. I wish I was here!
Celebrating independence
Hey, this pirate stuff is serious business
Did you know that to a pirate, chocolate could be more valuable than gold? Not surprising, especially if you’re a girl (obvious joke). From July 4-7, if you’re in the New York area, head to Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow for the “Pirates of the Hudson” interactive exhibit.
A three-hour (pirate) tour in Honolulu
Hawaii News Now – KGMB and KHNL
Maybe you’ve got the pirate princess bug but you’re not ready to run away to sea just yet. But if you’re a lucky bastard and happen to be in Honolulu, Hawaii, you can join the crew of the Treasure Seeker for a whirlwind hour-and-a-half jaunt from Kewalo Basin to Waikiki and back. Aye, ma’am!

What it takes to be a Daughter of Neptune
The bell onboard the SS Sorlandet. It’s part of the Class Afloat program, which I’m sadly too old for. Nuts!
Toronto Star staffer Andrew Livingstone gets a pirate’s eye view aboard the SS Sorlandet. Testimony from real-life pirate princess and Class Afloat alum Celina Diaz: “Before you cross you’re a pollywog and when you cross you become a shellback,” she said. “It’s like once you become a shellback you’re part of this society, you’re under King Neptune’s protection.”
If you, (unlike me, at least in the pirate ship world) are still a youngster, find out more about the Class Afloat program!
