This short documentary was put together by four people who met on Twitter and set up a sailing tweet up in the Chesapeake Bay. While you will learn how Twitter can bring people together for a great time, you’ll also learn some killer tips on how to use the site effectively. Each of us in the film have different motivations and strategies for the site, but in the end you’ll learn one trick that’s a surefire show stopper.
The concept for the film was created at breakfast before the sail. We shot it with one camera, each of us taking turns.

<br>Only 3 more weeks till Pirates and Wenches Weekend in Rock Hall Maryland! This is a quickly 30 second clip I took at the sing a long, which was sort of a Sea Shanty karaoke. I shot it on my new at the time iPhone 3GS and edited it with the Reel Director iPhone app. Pirates and Wenches 2010 to be held August 13-15 in Rock Hall Maryland.<br>http://www.rockhallpirates.com/
I took Tony and Glenn out on the Chesapeake Bay for a 24 hour bender last summer. Poors guys make marriage seem like prison the way they totally let loose. They really need to get out more. We had a great sunny sail into Annapolis and moored the boat outside of the US Naval Academy which provided a great spot for all the boats participating in Wednesday Night Races. Later it was off in a water taxi for dinner in Eastport, then drinks at Pusser’s. The next day we awoke at 6am to the Naval Academy plebes doing and chanting their morning exercises. Breakfast, coffee and the the sail back to Rock Hall.
The second Pirates and Wenches Weekend arrived to big crowds and a bit warmer weather but that didn’t slow any of the activities. This specific event was the dinghy beach plunder and reenactment of The Legend of Graybeard – PART II – The Abduction of Pearl. The nights previous event, Pirate’s Sea Shanty Sing-A-Long was shot on another camera and I’ll be posting that in the future. Many thanks to Valhallas Pirates Valhallas Pirates and The Brigands to name just a few.
What a great weekend to take down a couple new folks to the boat for some great day sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. Beautiful fall weather with an easy 5-8 knot NE wind. After a great day of sail we see Mystic Whaler on the way back to my mooring. We do a round about and do a last minute jive talking session with Jonny Goldstein and Srcasm with fiance in tow. Enjoy!
