The year is 2023. Who (besides The Jetsons) would’ve imagined we’d ever write such a futuristic statement?
Indeed, here we are well into the 21st century – and many things haven’t changed for the better since the 17th century. We continue to honour & commemorate our favourite Pyrates/Privateers; Jean Laffite, Renato Beluche, Dominique You, Barthéleme Lafon…and all the crew! We still send what support we’re able to New Orleans (and across Louisiana generally), however the current state of affairs in the City of N.O. is not as amenable to our annual gathering as it once was. Low wages, few hours, and high rents have forced many of our mates to leave the city they love for greener pastures. Short Term Rental properties have taken over entire neighbourhoods, while complaining that the very culture they claim to admire is “disruptive”!
Stay in touch, let us know how ye sail, and ye’ll always be the first to know where to find the treasure!
A few of ye more landlubbery types are likely wondering about the title… This is a reference to International Maritime Flags.
Kilo:
“I wish to communicate with you.”
XRay:
“Stop carrying out your intentions and watch for my signals.”
Yankee:
“I am dragging my anchor.”
