At least I think that's his name. He was roaming the streets at last weekend's Ballard Seafood Fest. This neighborhood street fair is part of Seattle's city-wide Seafair celebration, and it wouldn't be that Seafair time of year without pirates. Lots of them. They came ashore at Alki on Saturday in the Seafair Pirates 61st annual landing. They will be seen everywhere. I don't know if this plundering devil is part of the Seafair rable, but he was certainly in the spirit of their fun.

Looks like it was a fun day and you capture a fun moment in your photo.

How fun! I love the Seafair Pirates and was once 'kidnapped' by them and taken prisoner on their ship the Moby Duck. I was in a local royalty group (float girl) and they stole us all and wouldn't release us until we went to a nursing home with them and sang to the residents. It was so much fun and gave such a blessing to the residents!

He's been around somewhat, I think. He's brought back some souvenirs too!
Great fun and an excellent capture. Have a happy Wednesday!

I'm so relieved. At first I thought I had missed Talk Like A Pirate Day.

If you liked the pirates, come on out to the hydroboat races this year during Seafair weekend, August 7!
