Ren Fair With A Pirate Flair

April 12, 2025

The Setting

Yes it does!!! Beware!
We love pirates!
The sun drenched deck is waiting!
Come relax with us!
Treasure is at hand.
Pirate decor.
Not bad for a bunch of skummy pirates!
Table activity. Decorating a wooden treasure chest.
While the Captain sails the ship out to sea.
Here we go! Ahoy Mateys!!
Off we sail to find treasure and create trouble!

Assembling the Crew

Stealing the captain’s pistol.
No lip from the crew! We’re headed out to sea!
Gun beats sword!
No messing with Captain Dave!!
Getting to know “The Crew”!
Wink! Wink!
This one’s MINE! I’m Second Mate, and don’t you forget it!
Happy Crew!
Or are we? Someone has a Plan!!

Activities on Board to keep the crew busy!

Crew hard at work decorating private treasure chests.
Selecting jewels while munching on appetizers.
Mandella’s beautiful creation!
Appetizers are served...
...while the crew works on their creations...Mandella mumbles "Oops. Did I just put a jewel in my mouth instead of an appetizer? ... Tasty nonetheless. Arrrrr."" 🏴‍☠️🦜💎
Who did it better?
The time passports are duly stamped by Captain Dave.
Good job Captain! (Nice rings!)...and a Pirate Ship for our passport stamp!
Next: Reading of The Nambah News from last GNO.
Hear ye! Hear ye!
Captain Dave relaxes studying his treasure map while petting the ship’s mouse catcher named “Whitey”.
Bahira has a flagon of grog while shooting at seagulls for practice.
Mandella checks the map (she DOESN’T ask for directions from anyone!) Under her breath, the crew hears Mandella utter, "...my dagger is at the ready for anyone that disputes that! 🗡️
What is Fara’Asha up to???

Pirate Shenanigans

What is behind that golden curtain?
…The captain’s private quarters! Nice set up! The good liquor is stashed here!
Let’s take a peek.
Oops! Bahira got caught drinking Captain Dave’s private grog!
Delicious!
Fara’Asha getting ready to “meet” the captain in private!
Mandella thinking of treasure.
While Mandella distracts the Captain, Fara’Asha steals a golden mask from the treasure chest.
Making a getaway.
This will fetch a goodly sum of rum!
Caught! She had to answer for her crime!
It’s The Plank for you, matey!
Keep going!!
Don’t stop!!!!
Look out, sharks below!
Now your turn.
I’ll save everyone!

Pirate Grub and Spirits

Captain Dave inspecting the Salad. “Is it Fresh?”
Approved!!
Bring on the stews!
Cutlery optional…
Bread and butter, for sure! Garlic bread and whole wheat. ...and when Bahira says garlic, she means it -- big sliced chunks of garlic all through it. So yummy.
Hearty Shellfish Bisque: Giant shrimp, white shrimp, crab claws, scallops and Chilean Sea Bass!
Stewed veggies too!
Gotta have your greens at sea to prevent scurvy!!
Captain First!
I’m starving!
Ladle up as much as you like! It’s all for us!!
Just a taste for me, thank you. I’m watching my waistline….not!
Yum yum yum!
A quick zip back to the Captain’s quarters for another sip, or two…or five!!
Birthday pie for the Birthday Captain Dave!
Happy Birthday Captain Dave!
Just a little more, to keep up my strength!!
Dessert!
Made by Mandella. The BEST APPLE PIE MAKER on the Seven Seas!
Yes, please!
The Captain cutting the Birthday Pie.
Believe it or not, this is one very happy Captain!
A beard/mustache grooming set from Fara’Asha for his birthday gift. 🎁. She is forgiven for trying to steal from the Treasure Chest!!

Nambah Ren-Pirate Antics.

The White Pearl is walking the plank to go see Johnny on The Black Pearl.
He’s waiting for you!
Be right there, Johnny!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Black Pearl
Ghostly apparition on the deck at night.
Buddies forever!! Love you ladies!
…and keeps going…
Where will we show up next?!!!
We will follow the high seas...
The Nambahlicious ladies will be taking their Hocus Pocus personas to Ireland in May for more GNO nonsense and mayhem. See you then!! 🍀
