AHOY MATEY!!
We had a murder mystery party one night on the houseboat at Lake Powell. As you can see, everyone gets really into it. My Aunt Julie knows that we are big into pirates, so this year was a pirate themed party!! Here are the players:
THE SCURVY KNAVE CREW
Captain 'Black' Jack McCracken - the dashing Captain of the Scurvy Knave (aka Dillon Richens)
Sawbones McGraw - the sarcastic but reliable ship's doctor (aka Scott Bruderer) He was the murderer!! Ya think you know a guy. He even poisoned my own mother with watermelon!
Quintus Swelter - the vain and sinister ship's cook (aka Kollin Stark)
Tom - the helpful young ship's boy (secretly the governor's younger daughter) (aka Britta Bruderer)
THE FURY CREW
This was the ladies pirate ship. Watch out. They are not as sweet as they look!
Captain 'Saucy' Nancy Martin - the bold and fiery Captain of the Fury (aka Gwenya, aka Grandma Gwen)
I could not get over her wig. People on the boat seriously didn't even recognize her. Wayne was not sure how to respond. Seriously freaked me out! She has never had hair this long in my lifetime! She was so "saucy" all night! and a schemer. Watch out for "Saucy!"
Alice Tremain - the Fury's shrewd and intellectual 1st Mate (aka Ali Cannon)
Blaise Richelieu - the temperamental and passionate ship's cook (aka Becky Cannon)
THE COLONIAL FORCES
Sir Percival Stanforth - the steadfast and rather stuffy Governor of Jamaica (aka Grandpa Duane)
Elizabeth Stanforth - the Governor's desirable (if demanding) elder daughter (aka Libby Dibb)
Captain Hal Overy - the stubborn and blunt Royal Navy Captain (aka Russell Dibb)
TAINO NATIVES
Hayapitl - the diplomatic Taino chief (aka Grandpa Wayne)
Tokeleth - the chief's headstrong daughter (aka Grandma Myrna)
OTHER PLAYERS:
Don Inigo de Velez y Contrera - the aristocratic and condescending Spanish nobleman (aka Ken Richens)
Bill Pistol - the marooned former pirate, now mad as a brush (aka Caden Dymock, my cousin's best friend and the funniest guy I know! Also considered a member of the family!)
PIRATE BABIES!
Baby Tanner
Baby Wayne
Baby Cole
Captain Ben - the fearless leader of the baby crew
Ben had to pose with the boys. He was a pirate too!
The three musketeers. These three brewed up all kinds of fun the whole week.
ARG!!!!
