New Websites

There's a couple of new websites in the Pirate's Realm universe. The first is PirateToyParty.com, where you can get the best pirate toys and grab some supplies for your next pirate party. (That's coming up soon, isn't it?) The selection of toys is great; the prices are attractive, and every purchase helps Captain Sage in his quest to bring you more piratey goodness.
The other site is for you landlubbers out there. Mountain View Journal is about Captain Sage's early years at higher altitudes and his love for the Appalachians. Give it a visit and get a snapshot of the other side of the Captain who's torn betwixt sea level and mountain top.

That may be an exaggeration. I'm the only member of Briquets 52 that I know of.....
