Watered down? The two barrels are both going to be grog, one with two skulls on it and one extra strength with three.

Grog was by definition watered down. It's what the navy gave to sailors. Often four parts water to one part rum, but occasionally stronger. Pirates would surely want to buy their rum neat?

Everything on here is superb, but my favourite has to be the boat-house.
Simply great!

Could use a little more weathering.

Like, that jolly-boat actually looks perfectly usable, which belies it being turned into a roof. If it looked more worn, it would make more sense that it had ceased use on the water. Also, it seems iffy that the stand's wood and the boat's wood would be equally aged - did someone build a ramshackle stand with a perfectly new boat as the roof? So maybe just wear the boat more and not the lower part of the stand?

Love the overall look though.

Ah, well, uh.
I don't see any broken bar stools/tables or drunk pirates sleeping in front of the stand or having a good oldfashioned fistfight  :D

Seriously though, only thing I can think of to liven this up is some bird poo on top from those wretched seagulls. After all, This is supposed to be a seaside setting, isn't it?  lol

To be honest I would think its too dark than dull.  If its outside the wood would bleach over time?

Really, realy nice. Perhaps a lighter drybrush on the hull to sun bleach it a bit more, but thats a minor point. Its great :)
