2002 was a busy year for the Bilge Pumps as we rolled into our usual ports and caused the damage necessary as well as held a couple of recording sessions for out next CD. We made our first trip to California and opened/closed the Blackbeard pirate festival. We also bid adieu to Galleon O'Galleon the Pilot, welcomed back Phil McGroin to the group, and added our permanent part-time member, Aloysius the Carpenter.

Here lies irrefutable evidence that The Bilge Pumps do exist, we're not just a legend used to scare children at night when their parent tell them we live under the bed. Or are we? See ya tonight, kiddies!
