Hastings Pirate Day 2015 - Completely Unofficial!

Ooh! Saw this in a Hastings public house, it looks like there isn't an official Pirate Day this year, though there may be an "unofficial" Pirate Day on Sunday 26th July, this year, if we are to believe the RNLI, and who am I to contradict the RNLI? 

I'll just go and sort out my eye patch... 

Enjoying a coffee, and the view in Rock-a-Nore

A lovely day, and to get even warmer tomorrow, apparently...

Reasonably early doors, sitting outside the Dolphin... 

You may have worked out by now that I am one of the two regulars who were involved in her restoration, and, now annually, who repaint the Stacey Marie, RX134, though you may not be aware that she is now 'retired' and lives under the aegis of the Fishermens' Museum, AND has her own facebook page, to which people are welcome to add photographs of her, and whose 'likes' of the page would be very welcome, cheers!  

Oh yes, and I thought I'd take a photograph of the RNLI lifeboat station on my way home, just to wallow in the blue sky!
