Halloween Cruise
Cruise Captains: Lisa and Tim
Ahoy, Mateys! Please join us in Ocracoke for Blackbeard’s Pirate Jamboree and finish off another season of NSA cruising in style. This year’s Jamboree coincides with Halloween, so we’ll be looking for the best in costumes, pirate or otherwise. Official cruise dates are Friday October 31st through Sunday November 2nd, but feel free to sail over early and/or stay later if you want.
The Jamboree is an annual two-day event that is highlighted by the historically-accurate pirate encampment as well as the reenactment at the edge of Silver Lake Harbor of Blackbeard ’s last battle. While there, take in the Strolling Minstrels, Sword Fights, Black Powder Demonstrations, Beer Gardens, and Pirate Bazaar. A vendor fair kicks things off Friday afternoon, with full pirate-themed events running 9 to 5 on Saturday.
Our social event is planned to be sometime on Saturday, timed so as not to interfere with the battle reenactment. This will be a BYOB social. Please bring something to drink, as well as any kind of food you would like to share.
Hunter is holding some slips for us at the Anchorage Marina, but time is running short, so please make your reservation directly with them soon by phoning 252-928-6661. Alternatively, there should be slips available at the government docks on a first come, first served basis. And of course, there is always plenty of room to anchor in Silver Lake.
