Well after a long winter and spring fixin' her up she is ready for a splash.

Hope to get out and finally sail Saturday or Sunday, still working out the details with the family schedule.

:P

So drink up me hearty's and cross yer bones and wish me luck! :ph34r:

Aye...we be keepin' the 'Swivelgun' down below decks, but nonetheless handy if the need arises. :ph34r:

As for course, we plan to be navigating the Barnegat Bay, a one time refuge for pirates back in the day.

Not much booty these days unless yer lookin' fer clams and blue claw crabs.

<_<

Why yes she has milady Siren!

I wanted a more 'piratey' name but if was a tough sell to the family.

So we went with 'Floridaze' as the 'official name'. We love Florida and love to visit whenever we can. So I took the Jimmy Buffet song 'Floridays' and made the change to from days to daze since that is usually our state of mind when it comes to planning a vacation down to the 'Sunshine State' I even bought a Florida state flag to fly along with a pirate flag of course. :)

PS. As for her 'unofficial' pirate name, well I kinda liked 'Jersey Rebel'.

But don't tell the family. ;)

S/V Floridaze...aka Jersey Rebel

Very nice vessel indeed, Will! I hope you and your family have the best of times aboard her. Be safe! :ph34r:
