Quaranta is an Italian word for the number forty. It is also the root word for "quarantine". During 1347 through 1353 The Black Death (bubonic plague) ravaged most of Europe and the Mediterranean Coastal lands. Due to how deadly this disease was, many ports tried to provant the chance of it coming into their cities. One of the things they did was to incoming ships, the ships were often forced to wait 40 days before coming ashore, to prevent possible infection. This was good for the city and bad for those on the ship. As it is easy for diseases to spread aboard a ship and amongst those aboard. Using this term "good" lightly here, is if the ship was infected with the dead, it was easier to burn the ship than allowing it to spread into the city.
Captain Jameson von Greywolfe’s Rum Review - 3HOWLS Oy thar me hearties it’d be a moonlit Satordee nigh, n be time fer th rum review. Founded in 2013 the 3 Howls distillery makes its home in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood. However the names takes on a darker image from across the pond. In Scotland according to local folklore a fairy hound known as the Cú Sith (that’s pronounced koo-shee) would bale out 3 and only 3 howls before taking souls to the underworld. A mythological beast that’s as big as a bull dark green and with a curled tail with braided fur. This hound is from Celtic folklore and now than likely is founded in viking mythos, more specifically in Fenrir the legendary wolf.
The 3 Howls distillery is home to 12 products which include various vodkas, rums, whiskeys, and gins each unique in their flavor. Their rums start out as molasses from Barbados and yeast from Scottish ale allowed to ferment in a 600 gallon cypress wood tank. Once completed the ferment is distilled twice in a 300 gallon hybrid pot /column still. The distillate is then infused with a variety of fresh botanicals for seven days then distilled a third time. This final distillate is then blended with caramelized sugar and molasses before being bottled at 80 proof. I was able to find this one at Total Wines at North Point mall but can be found at most Total Wines stores in Ga and FL as
well as others across the states. A very pale, almost platinum blond in the glass, with a crystal clear appearance. So clear that I can read the words written in my rum notebook through the glass n rum. Widely spaced thick legs gently fall leaving behind large drops to eventually evaporate if left alone. Largely vanilla aromas coinciding with caramel and molasses riding the fringe of breeze above the snifter giving way to cinnamon and other baking spices. A perfect sweetness is the first Thing noticed not syrupy and not undersweetened. Caramel and molasses are present that follows with the vanilla bean it was infused with. Traditional baking spices with a warmth of Dutch apple crumb pie made with fresh Washington apples ends the sip. There is no burn with this unaged spirit like I was expecting.
So another rum on the list of being tasted and reviewed, but I’m finding it hard to find new ones. You’ve seen what I’ve reviewed and I’m sure I’m missing one or more that you have seen or had, so give me some suggestions of what you like. If I can find it I’ll review it depending on cost. I am just a pirate with the limit of where I can go. I did find a treasure trove of wealth at Total wines, and will be plundering there often for the next few weeks. So me hearties until next week, stay safe, stay alert, stay alive, and drink responsibly. By no means go an drive intoxicated, always bring money for an uber or lift ride. Better yet have your D.D. present when you go out, just buy his or her non alcoholic beverages while your having fun. Plunder well mates and fly the black when in pursuit of your next capture. Till the next time, down the hatch.
This spiced rum is good enough that if you were to make a “rum n cola” you just might forget the cola and drink it over ice. A good rum for making a spiced Pina Colada, great with ginger beer and lime juice as a what I call a white squall. Essentially a dark and stormy but with light or gold rum. 3 Howls Spiced rum can not be limited to just the wolf pack, it is a rum to be shared by all. One that will find its way to Tybee this year in October, among others that I favor. I’ve enjoyed this one immensely and it could be a close competitor to my favorite from the treasure coast of Florida.
Captain Jameson von Greywolfe
Bonnet had a rather unsuccessful pirate career when compared to his counterparts, at one point being captured by Blackbeard and subsequently serving by his side to learn the trade. Afterwards Bonnet would set off on his own with moderate success, however this success would attract the attention of local authorities. On this 27th of September 1718, the pirate Captain Stede Bonnet is captured at the Battle of Cape Fear River. In the waning days of the Golden Age of Piracy, the Imperial might of the British Empire had finally begun to crack down on pirate activity in the Caribbean, hunting down and ending the careers of a great number of infamous pirate captains. Among these included the captains of the Pirate Republic of Nassau, such as Edward “Blackbeard” Teach/Thatch, Henry Avery/ Every, Charles Vane, John “Calico Jack” Rackham, and more. This also included Stede Bonnet, otherwise known as “The Gentleman Pirate” for his affluent life as a Barbadian sugar planter before setting out on a life of Piracy.
At the end of summer 1718, Bonnet had managed himself a small pirate flotilla, in which Bonnet piloted the flagship the “Royal James,” a sloop-of-war that was previously a part of Blackbeard’s fleet. Bonnet also had under his command two more sloops, the “Francis” and “Fortune,” as well as a collection of raiding canoes.
At this point the Royal James was in need of repair and requested a safe spot to be careened for maintenance. The hurricane season was close at hand, presenting even greater danger to a sitting fleet like Bonnet’s, so he decided to anchor his flotilla in the Cape Fear estuary, where the surrounding islands and sandbars would protect his ships from rough waters. Unfortunately, word of Bonnet’s presence reached the governor of South Carolina, who then dispatched Captain William Rhett to pursue and capture Bonnet. Rhett, a Colonel in the Colonial Militia, mustered a crew and outfitted two sloops of his own and sailed to Cape Fear. When Rhett and his sloops arrived at Cape Fear the night of September 26th, Bonnet initially assumed them to be merchant vessels and sent his 3 canoes to take Rhett’s ships as prizes, only to find out their true intent. The next morning, Bonnet and his crew charged Rhett in an attempt to escape out to sea. It almost worked, as Rhett’s ships, the “Henry” and one other, both ran aground on sandbars, rendering them immobile. However, while maneuvering to avoid friendly fire Bonnet’s “Royal James” also ran aground. For almost six hours the “Royal James” and “Henry” exchanged fire until the tide came in, freeing Rhett’s two vessels, but leaving Bonnet’s stuck. Rhett boarded the pirates and after a
short engagement Bonnet and his crew surrendered. In the end, Rhett and his militia lost 12 men, where Bonnet also lost twelve and the remainder taken prisoner. While this would not be the ultimate end for Bonnet, it did signal the beginning of the end. After a failed escape attempt later that year, Bonnet would be tried for two accounts of piracy and hanged in Charleston, South Carolina in November.

Prepare a deep short-crust pastry shell (9-10 inches across) and bake it blind for 10-15 minutes in a hot oven Remove from oven and allow to cool. (Or have your pre-made pastry shell waiting.) Place the cheese curd and softened butter in a bowl and blend well. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating them well into the mixture. Add the rosewater, sugar, currants and nutmeg to the mixture and beat in well. Pour the filling into the cooled pastry case and bake in a moderate oven (gas Mark 4, 180C or 350F) for 30-45 minutes. (Warning- once the mixture is poured into the pie shell, it should be baked straight away. Otherwise it will start to separate and become oily and not cook well.)(The cheesecake should have risen a little and be a golden color.). Lift from oven and lightly dust with ground mace (if desired).

10 Facts about Captain James Hook
1
Captain James Hook is a fictional character, the antagonist of J. M. Barrie’s play Peter Pan
2
Hook did not appear in early drafts of the play, where in the capricious and coercive Peter Pan was closest to a “villain”
3
Barrie states in the novel that “Hook was not his true name. To reveal who he really was would even at this date set the country in a blaze”
4
James Hook does fear the crocodile, but no more than he would any large and deadly creature
5
His hatred of Peter Pan results from the boy killing his men without remorse, tormenting him ceaselessly, and being irrepressibly cocky.
6
There are two fears of Captain Hooks. He hated the sight of the crocodile which pursued him after Pan cut off his hand and the crocodile ate it. He also had the fear of seeing his own blood
7
All sources agree that Hook, whatever his origins, was educated at Eton. Barrie went so far as to give a speech at the school, “Captain Hook at Eton,” and in the play, Hook’s last words are the Eton motto, Floreat Etona.
8
James Hook is an inveterate clothes horse. The red coats for which he has become known are his battle coats, and the time of The Stowaway, he has three. For regular seafaring, he wears blue or gray.
9
He has patterned his appearance after King Charles II, most spectacularly in the long black ringlets in which he wears his hair. While many artists--mostly post-Disney--depict him in stockings and knee-breeches, he learned early on that such dress was not practical for piracy.
10
James Hook was a (largely unwilling) boy soprano. He also played flute and harpsichord.
Sinbad Timber Gray Wolf
This character is an iconic pirate and adventurer of the Middle East and Persian Gulf. Through the tails he seems to encounters as much if not more of the supernatural than Captain Jack. Many of us who are old enough remember (one that I am old enough to) getting a taste of the hero from The Adventures of Sinbad in 1996. Then later down the line we got a tasteful animated movie Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas in 2002. The most recent install of the character from Syfy, Sinbad in 2012. All of these were great in their own way and took us to another part of the world to see pirates. The Adventures of Sinbad was a Canadian Action/ Adventure Fantasy television series which aired from 1996 to 1998. The series is a re-telling of the adventures of Sinbad from The Arabian Nights. Created by Ed Naha, it was filmed in southern Ontario, Canada and in Cape Town, South Africa. Each episode was filled with adventure as you saw different lands and the legends and myths carried the characters onwards. The show ran for two seasons, with a total of 44 episodes. With the success of the 2 seasons there was plans for a third season, but due to contract issues the season was dropped. Like many past shows you can find it online or even buy it and DVD. Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas is a great animated film produced by DreamWorks. Brad Pitt was the voice behind this devilish character for the movie. The plot is that he is framed by the goddess Eris (Goddess of Chaos) for the theft of the Book of Peace. To clear his innocence, he must travel to her realm at the end of the world to retrieve it and save the life of his childhood friend Prince Proteus, to whom put is trust in Sinbad by standing in for being sentenced to death. While his crew and he travels to the end of the world it is no easy task. The tail mixes in both Arabian and Greek mythology to spin a great story.
Syfy’s Sinbad aired for just a short time on their network in 2012. The 12-episode Sinbad follows the epic sea journey, which embarks on a quest to rid him of a curse and embrace his destiny. He is forced to flee from his home town of Basra. On board The Providence, an intriguing band of travelers is thrown together, including taciturn Norwegian sailor Gunnar, agile jewel-thief Rina, and haughty and aristocratic Nala, Completing the ship’s complement is the odd-ball cook and the cerebral doctor Anwar. Sadly the show was canceled, even thou there was a good fallowing for the show. Guess it must not have been in the right time slot…
These three samples of the story of Sinbad is just the tip of the iceberg, There are plenty of independent films, anime/manga and comic books, which some are not meant for eyes of children (as they say be careful of what you Google) . If you are a fan of the character and know a great story, either movie/book/comic, write into us so we can share to fellow fans.
