The Pirate Cruise to Red Fish Island is fast approaching! A relaxing and entertaining excursion is planned.
As is always the case with pirates there will looting and burning!!
The plan is to have a bonfire on the beach and it would be good if you could bring some scrap wood or fire wood along. You can go ashore and scavenge for wood as there usually is a fair amount washed up on the island.
Pirate clothing of any kind is encouraged. Cruise Captain Tim will pick the winner at the bonfire.
The fun starts in the afternoon. Place the wood you have on the bow where it is reachable from the water. Tie a few strips of cloth around the bow as marks of your vessel. Then get aboard your dingy, armed with your water weapons. Approach the other pirate boats and try to take the wood and "vessel marks" from them. They will try to fend you off with their water weapons so you will have to dissuade them with yours. It promises to be a great afternoon!
In the evening we will have a bonfire on the island and a shared meal. Bring beverages and a dish to share.
Update, I've been told water balloons are not allowed because turtles eat them and die. So, no water balloons.
