The Underwater Princess and Crew

Paradise Pirates

You might be a pirate if...you get in trouble for beaching on a beach. Sunday found the Paradise Pirates assembling their ship on the beach at Bahia Honda. Ten pirates were evicted from the beach and launched The Underwater Princess into rough choppy water. A huge success. Even though they were five people too many, and they sunk once,(in 4 ft of water), the sail and bamboo held together. The Coast Guard got a good laugh and the Pirates were mistaken for Cubans, however, no one can take back the simple fact that The Underwater Princess sailed. Thank you to the hard working crew and a hearty welcome to First Mate Lou...BOOOYAH....ps...Lou don't over feed the dog...

Paradise Pirates

Two weeks ago on the 23rd of February five pirates lashed two canoes together with bamboo poles while being on open water in the Florida Keys. The ensuing adventure took the pirates offshore into open ocean at about a mile and a half. There scuba diving commenced and a good time was had by all.

Today construction is being done on the sail and rudder with a projection date of tomorrow as another trail run...an adventure at least....
