Entering the ship we joined three hapless pirates; Stinky Pete, Malicious Mick and the otherwise nameless "Captain". Through various activities including storytelling round the captains table, a tour of the ship and a treasure hunt we learned of the death of Blackbeard, the cure for scurvy (as provided by the ship's barber-surgeon, how to fire a cannon, raise an anchor and, in buggy-B's case smear our mouth with pieces of chocolate. I never knew just how much wee and poo were required in the upkeep and firing of a cannon!
This was a first class day out for the buggies; highly recommended.
