Pirate Cruise....

We just got back from our 90 minute Pirate Ship Cruise on Big Bear Lake. I thought that the pirate ship had some type of significance, but nope, it didn't. The ship was built in someone's backyard, a father and son, and was completed in 1968. Somehow it made it to Big Bear Lake in 1997. We looked at all the multi- million dollar homes on the lake..Shirley McClaine...and I cannot remember all of the others. We saw the location of the first moonshine distillery in the 20's, as well as the accompanying brothel:) The kids all got big squirt guns to squirt at other boats and people passing by. They also got a prize from the treasure chest... sunglasses:) It was a really nice slightly overcast day with a perfect breeze. It would have been way too hot without the clouds. We also went past Mel Blank's house- the voice for Bugs Bunny, etc. His son Noel? Blank, did the voices for us thru a megaphone. He is the small dot guy in the white shirt in the distance.
