Our annual Memorial Day weekend visit to the Railean Rum Distillery's Buccaneer Bar was better than ever this time around! A sturdy new stage awaited us, complete with secret hooch holes for our rum bottles, and the audience came out and packed the place full of rum seekers. While Harvey the Corpsman didn't make the trip, Sharkbait Simon the Scapegoat made his first appearance at the venue, complete with the obligatory Cannon Fodder shot. (shudder)

John Crow the Cook celebrates the fact that the Bilge Pumps were allowed back in the door!

The lack of Harvey created space, so Sharkbait Simon the Scapegoat made his first and only appearance down to Railean's.

Fanny the Flagmaker and Elizabeth the Stowaway take turns playing on stage or running the sound board all night.

John Crow hops off stage to engage the crowd to dance on the Isle of Tortuga.

If something smells skunky during this song, it might be Jack the Rum Runner.

The crowd lifts their glasses in "Salud" during Isn't it Grand

Elizabeth gets her chance to jump on stage with us during the House of the Rising Sun.

Covering for Harvey on drums brings Splice the Rigger to his knees during the Dark Lady.

One way to make room on stage is to do some high knee lifts during Johnny Jump Up.

Jack jumps off stage to get down and dirty with the audience.

Aaaaaand swap! Fanny is now on stage to pull some mando-magic.

With Harvey gone, help was enlisted from the crowd to haul John Crow around on the Night Pat Murphy Died.

Maroon is surrounded by all sorts of shots of mystery liquor he's forced to drink during Seven Drunken Nights.
