Urban Pirates

Bring your own grog on the high seas happy hour

Special to Metromix

Why is playing pirate so much fun? After all, pirates are usually associated with criminal activity, scurvy, wooden legs, missing eyeballs and having parrot crap on their shoulders. Maybe it's the sense of adventure and the opportunity to just be loud, obnoxious, drunk and raunchy that makes being a pirate so great. Metromix set sail aboard the Fells Point vessel Fearless with the Urban Pirates crew for the first Bring Your Own Grog Cruise of the sailing season. Every Friday at 6:30 p.m., pack a cooler of your favorite adult beverages and ask yourself, "Aarrrgh" you glad to be sailing?
