Memories of THE BOAT...pirate ownership 1978-2009

This boat gave us all more fun than should be allowed by any law. A mere $50.00 initial investment turned a group of young men, back into teenagers, with no good common or uncommon sense. Through Island trips, white water trips, explorations,sea excursions,fishing trips, crabbing trips, parades,and numerous breakdowns on land and water. The boat created many stupid adventures that have me laughing just thinking about them. In all types of weather, rain,snow,blazing sun, sleet,icebergs,even oil tankers from foreign countries, this boat was unstoppable. It was always popular with the local authorities, who wasted no time in pulling us over and boarding the boat and inspecting it.(like it was'nt safe,,come'on..) THE PIRATE BOAT was THE boat on the river. Unique. On a level by itself. We will miss the Boat.

Another Winter trip to the Island. After nearly 30 years we now strongly believe that our crew is the ONLY group of people in the entire Delaware Valley that camps in the Winter on the Island. Imagine that, less than 10 people out of Millions in the area. You'd have a better chance of buying a winning lottery ticket.
