Kicky and Jumpy attended the Buzzards Bay 4th of July parade. They got to see their Uncle Barry and Aunt Chris in the parade. Barry and Chris and their scuba friends were (are?) pirates and had the winning float in this year's parade. The float was the Black Pearl and it was amazing. Below are some snaps that really do not do it justice. Here is a nice snap of Barry and Kevin sharing a moment.
My brother, the pirate.
K + J (and big K + J) had a great time and give big thanks to Barry and Chris and the other scalliwag pirates for showing us such a great time!
Capt Jumpy and First Mate Chris steer the ship into safe waters.
Kevin asks Uncle Barry, "What's grog?"
Barry offers Jason a ride on the Pearl.
Kevin asks Uncle Barry, "How'd you make that?"
Auntie Chris and Jason explore the Pearl.
Ahoy there Chris and Kevin!
Chris and Jason steer away from the shoals.
A Russian schooner was docked at the Mass. Maritime Academy. They befriended the Buzzards Bay Buccaneers and the Pirates returned the favor by kidnapping their Captain and forcing him to steer the Pearl (ah, he liked it). Here you see the cannons firing and the Russians cheering.
Here the Russians salute the Pearl and her crew.
The topmost mast and a crew member who didn't please the Captain.
A side shot of the Pearl. Impressive, isn't it? There's even a mermaid figure on the bow but you can't see her very well.
Here's a shot of her aft (is that correct?). She's as cool going as she is coming.
Barry and the Pearl. Terrific job, Barry!
