September 19, 2013 - International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a amusing holiday created in 1995 by John Baur (Ol' Chumbucket) and Mark Summers (Cap'n Slappy), of Albany, Oregon, U.S., who proclaimed September 19th each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate (honest I did not make this up).

As an industrial farming community and a hub of Baja racing activities you can get anything repaired here, we have. Palapa 206 has amazing mechanical contacts and always willing to help, often sending Nigel along as your interpreter.
