AARRGGHH – it be a Pirate Hash! The scurvy rats gathered on the patio at Louie’s Backyard for the annual Conch Republic Hash. There was Captain (hare) Just Chris with his First Mate, Virgin Elizabeth. Seamen Mu-Sick and Just Jim and wenches Thar She Blows and Crack Of made up the balance of this motley crew. The boarding party of VMA, XSNRG, Just Makenzie joined us for a tasty beverage, but had to leave to go swab some decks.
As we gathered for Chalk Talk on the street, we realized that the hare had no chalk! After scrounging through some buried treasure, the pack soon found a few appropriately chalky rocks. The pack sent the hare on his way, with a mysterious bottle of grog in his backpack. After a few minutes, the pack followed the scent to the first grog stop, thanks to some folks at Southernmost Café, who said “Are you following the pirate? He went thataway!” Just Jim managed to retrieve the sunken treasure from the waters beneath the pier at Southernmost Beach. Blimey, it was a bottle of Kracken Rum!!! After swilling some of the tasty nectar, the pack continued on to an anatomy check near the Southernmost point, and a song check at the marker. The short but sweet trail carried on to another drink stop at Cork and Stogie, where our bartender Just Tim made sure our thirst was quenched.
After quaffing our beers, the pack set off down Duval Street. Having heard the hare mention a food stop on trail, the wily wenches attempted a shortcut to Sinz Burritos, but found no trail. So back they went to attempt to catch the seamen, who were actually on trail, and had discovered a hidden beer stop beside St Mary church (except for Just Jim, who blew right by, but was soon recalled through many whistles and yells of “beer near”). Trail continued on to….Sinz Burritos, where we enjoyed some more tasty grog and grub.

Hunger and thirst assuaged, the pack again took out after the hare, posing for a photo stop at Better Than Sex. The seamen again ran on ahead of the wenches, and missed the on right that Virgin Elizabeth spotted, so the ladies were first in to the next beer stop (a few cans sitting beside the road). Then it was On In back to the start, where we held a short circle to welcome new boots and visitors, and award a few down-downs.
Many thanks to Just Chris for an awesomely shitty trail to celebrate our independence. Welcome to new boots Virgin Elizabeth, who will unfortunately miss the next few trails as she will be at sea, and Just Jim from Marathon, who will be joining us whenever he can!
