Yo ho ho. Ahoy me hearties! Sebastian here to finish my tale “In Search of Pirates” on the high seas. I’m an Old Salt now. I might even have salt water coursin’ through my veins. Let’s get on with it shall we?
Even though it’s been four whole days since I’ve returned from my adventure, I remember it like it was only yesterday. I was up bright and early to see the ship dock at a beautiful tropical island. “Here’s my chance.” I thought to myself. “There might be some pirates hiding out here.”
I was mesmerized by the water.
It was incredibly blue in some places and crystal clear in others.
While contemplating my search, I gave my minions a chance to wade in for a little while and can you guess what happened while they were away?
I met an honest-to-goodness pirate. Maybe you have heard of him. He goes by the name of Jack Sparrow.
After that initial rather awkward meeting, he convinced me that I would make a very good pirate.
I happily present these few photos of me taking in the sights my first official day (and night) as a pirate. I had them take a photo of me close-up first. Can you guess where I am in this photo?
Just a little further back in this one and you can see I am sitting atop an archaic buoy!
And here you can see just how huge – and cute - they are! The buoys – not my minions. I can’t seem to shake them even for a little while.
I’m such a photogenic pirate. No more photos, please! Well . . . okay maybe just a few more.
Back on board the ship and I discovered that everyone had become a pirate. Even my favorite servers. I just love these buccaneers! Can you see how well I was treated? I had a prime spot on which to sit for my photo.
Dessert that evening included a choice of Chocolate Rum Cake. Can you get tipsy from eating dessert? What’s that song? Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum?
Me with my mentor.
What a fun encounter I had with Captain Mickey. Next time (and there will be a next time or someone will walk the plank, matey!) I say, next time I think I need a coat like his.
Finally, we celebrated with fireworks off the starboard side of the ship.
Now that I’ve dressed like a pirate, eaten like a pirate and run amok like a pirate, I would say I’ve earned the chance to share in the pirate booty. I have it on good authority that the gold doubloons are made of chocolate! My favorite!
Until we meet again, smooth sailin’ from your favorite pirate - Aaargh!
What a wonderful time you must have had, and so kind of you to take your minions along! I could do with some of that lovely, warm sunshine!
ReplyDeleteHi Granny K,
DeleteYes we had a wonderful time and the sunshine was fabulous. I tried to put some in a jar with a lid. Sunshine is a very hard thing to put in a jar.
hugs,
Sebastian

hugs,
Sebastian
You are my favorite PirateSebastian. Did that pirate t that you got friendly with show you all their treasure in a Big Treasure chest???? I wanted to see all the gold and pearls and precious stones..
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs Wilbur
Hi Wilbur,
DeleteThank you so much! I never did see a treasure chest but they did let me have some of the doubloons. And they were delicious!
hugs,
Sebastian
I knew you would find pirates! And you do make one handsome.... and fierce.... pirate. Ahoy, matey!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanie,
DeleteI appreciate your confidence in me! And for your sweet words. The eye patch makes it hard to see the desserts in all their glory but I have a good sniffer so that helps quite a bit!
Thanks and hugs,
Sebastian
Fire water is a much better thing to have running through your fluff that salt water, trust us on that *hic*
ReplyDeleteThose minions, they photobomb anything, don't they?!
Hugs

Hi Jack, Boo & The Clan,
DeleteI don't have much experience with salt water or fire water so I will have to trust you. That's some powerful stuff for sure. Yep, I can't keep control of the minions. Just a mention of photos and there they are - right in there. I guess they like being in the photos with greatness! :D
hugs,
Sebastian
Cor, Sebastian,
ReplyDeleteYou really know how to kick over the traces. You've not only found pirates, you have become one, with a stripy jumper a cloth round your head and an eye patch. We do hope your eye is alright and that's only purtend.
As for the minions, we'd make them walk the plank they next time they get in YOUR photos. Hey, ho me bearties, that would settle their hash.
We hope we'll see lots of lovely people in Injar, but they certainly won't be so 'citing as real live prates.
Hugs,
Jock and Zeke
PS - We haven't started packing for Injar yet - the minions say we're getting tocited too soon and we'll be all tuckered out if we don't calm down. But what are small bears to do? It a whole four weeks until we go - that's AGES.
Hi Jock and Zeke!
DeleteYeah, I'm what you might call an equal opportunity pirate. If there's an opportunity for fun as a pirate, I'm there! The eye patch was purtend - I kind of had to make myself look legitimate. I'm glad it was convincing. I have it on very good authority that all my pirate friends would love to meet you in bearson. But alas, it looks like you have a full itinerary in the next little while. I hope you will take loads of photos. Make sure your staff documents all of your adventure!
hugs,
Sebastian
