Port Royal...... ARRRRGGG!!!!





Last Saturday, the US flaged sloop "Persephone" stealthly sailed into 'Port Royal' searching for da 'Black Pearl' and the "Pirates of the Caribbean"......















A natural arch guards the enterance.....with a sign which reads "Pirates Beware" !!!







 Here is the arch as it appeared when CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow sailed into "Port Royal".....and the arch as it appears now..... 
Port Royal has hardly changed since the "Black Pearl" entered the harbor.....


Since there were no pirate ships in Port Royal, (only boat boys selling trinkets at pirate prices) we did the same as Captain Barbosa.... turned our rudder to Port Royal, ne'r to return.

P.S.   Port Royal is actually Wallilabou Harbor, St. Vincent where "Pirates of the Caribbean" was filmed in 2003.  Much of the sets have been preserved, and the dock is still in place, but in disrepair.  As we were heading for St. Lucia, with 35 miles to go,  we didn't stop.  We may stop here next summer on the southbound trip.
