This is primarily meant for
children (and their parents) but that did not matter to The two RV Gypsies
so they sailed away on Captain Memo's Original Pirate Cruise through
the calm waters of the picturesque Gulf of Mexico to a world complete
with briny buccaneers and seafaring seadogs. |

Lee and Karen Duquette enjoyed
the pirate antics during their two hour odyssey, including a treasure
hunt, face painting, water gun games, and pirate stories. It was fun
watching the children laugh and play even thought they did NOT get to
join in on the water fun games because all of this fun was meant for
the children. |
