It did happen, but not as it was originally choreographed due to the lack of Booty. For those who don&#8217;t know as we were in a vow of secrecy, but Captain Thomas Leaf had embarked upon a ploy to obtain none-other than the <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.blueoceantackle.com\/pirate_ship_for_sale.htm\">Black Pearl<\/A> for <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.piraterelief.com\/\">Pirate Relief<\/A>. He had auditioned for and was invited to air on <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b006vq92\">The Dragon&#8217;s Den<\/A> to face the Dragons to gain their booty to capture the ship. Alas, the act was squashed mainly by funding to get the Pirates to Manchester. An alternative ploy was launched on Kickstarter, to continue the raid &#8230; but this time taking on Charleville Castle during <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.shakefest.net\/\">Shakefest<\/A>. The feat was achieved, the Castle seized, A Faerie Glen explored, and a Madhatter&#8217;s Tea Party with much mayhem was had. But what about the exploits to Cornwall? Well, crew-less, but in company of fellow explorers, has set launch as we speak for Mayhem in Cornwall &#8230; into the Land of the Fae, Pirates, and Vikings. A tale with no plan and weaved as the fates and Oracles direct. <\/p>\n<p><P><DIV ALIGN=\"CENTER\"><TABLE width=400><TR><TD valign=\"top\"><FONT SIZE=-1><I>Enjoying this tale?
