Team Pirates of the Chesapeake

In the pictures you may have seen it – the team enjoying(?) a refreshing ration of rum upon finishing a leg. We found, of all things, Pirates of the Chesapeake rum! The bottle made the trip with us, and starting with the first finish at Hollywood beach, we shared a ration with the goal of finishing the last of it at Tybee. As each leg brought us closer to Tybee, the bottle trended toward empty. At Tybee we finished the last of it, and even gave the boat a taste. The bottle was to be saved, signed by the crew and become our own trophy, but alas it is missing, most likely tossed in the trash by somebody doing us a favor. Oh well. But whatever the quality of the rum, it tasted sweeter to me with each leg finished!
