For 10 days after Thanksgiving Key West host a beautiful and fun filled event celebrating the age of piracy. In this colorful and serene place
I have indulged in lectures, parties, plays, sea voyages and wonderful piratical entertainment of the first order. They included author Dr. David Cordingly, artist Don Maitz, the thrills of the West Coast Mutineers and the incredible music
of the Pyrates Royale and of course the Corsairs. It was all 1 big bundle of endless fun, play and tropical (dare I say it) paradise
The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby
