Resurrection of the Jolly Roger:
I first caught breeze of her a week ago while detecting the East Coast of Florida, my mind silently pondering the prospects of far away shores. On that day I couldn’t help but to feel that there was something eerie drifting about in the ocean breeze. The sun was just starting to rise and the appeared strangely tame and contained. Through the morning haze I thought, just for the tiniest moment, that I had perhaps seen the ghost-like silhouette of a sixteenth century pirate vessel cruising the distant horizon. In that instant a warm breeze slowly caressed my face in such a way that I actually felt my heart skip one or two beats. Calm, that’s what it was, and eerie and still calm that excited my instincts and ignited my imagination. And with that one brief moment I became inspired to do the unthinkable. I was going to resurrect the Jolly Roger!
And here it is! Believe it or not, I found her at a local flea market and bartered a fair price for her immediate release. Now she’s been fully refitted with everything any beach pirate might need for those long and daring raids on distant beaches. Cooler for the drinks and munchies, designated areas for the scoop and detector, a full multi-compartment excursion bag, and of course, a Captain’s seat and a holder for an umbrella or pirate flag. At the end of the day she folds right up for easy transporting, no anchorage required. From this moment on no distant shore will safe from my endless roaming and searching for treasure! ARG! HAR-HAR-HAR!
