Pirates

I think I saw a pirate ship today.

Sitting near the Bishop pool in Sag Harbor, watching the group of kids splash, I glanced towards my right. The hill sloped down from the family's pool and ran into the sandy beach. Far out in water was a large boat - but not a sail boat.

It was different somehow. More majestic.

And then, the wind changed.

I looked over at Will, he being the only boy there in the group of kids. He had seen it too.

His eyes were sparkling.

The adventure is in the finding of treasure. Unfortunately, swabbing decks goes with the package! Glad there's a spark of imagination in the group somewhere!
