In Pictures: Rock the Plank! brings in the booty

With no pillaging and just a few scurvy dogs, the Rock the Plank! Pirate Party in Tow Hill raised $2,500 for the new Masset Skate Society last Saturday.

Buoyed by live music from the islands’ own Dub Jackson Band, Jason Camp & The Posers, Minstrel Cramps and Evan Amies-Galonski, not to mention grub from The Ground and Causeway Convenience, the booty-raising benefit also featured an auction of locally-painted skateboard decks and a mini skate ramp by the stage.

The bands rocked, the pirates danced, and fans cheered on skaters of all ages while hanging hammock-style in a giant beach-combed fish net.
