Longship Company Schedule

[anarra]

Ana Ilevna and I are members of The Longship Company. They are based in southern Maryland and have a faering boat, the Gyrfalcon, that was one of the models for our faering boat. They also have a 40 foot war ship. 12 oars and a crew of up to 24.

(That's a photo of me standing in front of the Gyrfalcon at the 40th anniversary of The Battle of Hastings, which was Markland's inagural event way back when.)

Their website is www.longshipco.org.
