Avast me hearties! La Beale Isoud remains one of the most feared vessels on the water in the month of August. Colonials tremble at the sound of her sails crackling tautly in the wind and the rumble of her cannon, and ladies have been known to swoon at the sight of her bowsprit.

The Pirates of Sagacity meet again on Galiano Island August 23-26 for feasting, pillaging, raping, and other late-night fun in the dungeon. This year we pirates have commandeered an estate worth our mettle: comfortable, extensive, with lots of room for the wenches. Join the motley crew and put your John Henry alongside the likes of The Lady of the Fishes and Cap'n Fisherman.

Peruse the articles and sign away your fate if ye dare.
