San Diego Yacht and Boat Show July 22 – 25, 2010
The unmistakable ambiance of beautiful San Diego Harbor.
What better place to have a summer boat show that captures the energy of outdoor summer fun on the water than the seaside recreation mecca of Southern California itself, San Diego. This venue, entering its sixth year, blends the elegance and serenity of beautiful Harbor Island and the luxurious Sheraton Hotel and Marina and Cancer Survivor’s Park with the inescapable enthusiasm of people enjoying an active, outdoor lifestyle that has become synonymous with San Diego. Harbor Island offers boat show attendees the opportunity to feel, touch and become immersed in the environment with powerboats and sailboats in-the-water and on-land. Marine accessory products and services are also well represented in a special expo area immediately adjacent to the boats. Unquestionably, the San Diego Yacht and Boat Show has become a premier event among Southern California boaters.

Name that Skull Contest Winner
After days of deliberation, and a barrel of rum or two… the crew has come to a final decision for the “Name That Skull” contest winner.
We had many good entries, and Party Pirate just couldn’t decide on a winner, but did decide to pass the rum around to the crew.
As the crew shared the entries, and discussed the possibilities, the rum was disappearing…
and a decision was made to “Name That Skull”…. RUMSKULL !!!
However….. when the crew went to notify the winner who submitted the name, the entry could not be found…
It seems that the crew had a little too much rum, and had elaborated on the entry that was submitted by Rebecca Schaaf, which was Rum Numbskull, Numb for short.
So, in all fairness, the winner of the $75 shopping spree for the Pirate Store is awarded to Rebecca Schaaf, and the skull will be named “Rumskull”.
Congratulations Rebecca!

Pirate Cove offers everything one looks for in a destination vacation or afternoon getaway. Take a short boat trip down river to explore Topock Gorge and Havasu Wildlife Refuge, where you’ll find an abundance of wildlife, lava pinnacles, totems, and ancient hieroglyphics on the gorge’s walls. Boating, fishing, kayaking, or riding in the desert are just a few of the activities available right here at the resort. Or, you can choose to do nothing at all but relax in one of the many lounge chairs shaded by thatch palapas along the glistening beaches.
Pirate Cove invites you to experience this spectacular beachside resort like no other on the Colorado River.
Pirate Cove is truly a place in time. If you’ve got the time, we’ve got the place.

Joao Ricardo Moreira
One week since I left LA! After that, I crossed four states, California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to be here where I am now: Louisiana.
My first stop was the Joshua Tree National Park. Beautiful place and amazing landscapes. The rock mountains, the wildlife and the cactus are some examples of what is… beautiful there.
After there, Phoenix was my destiny. A city that is really developing, new buildings and everything that a city which is growing up has. I met nice people there at the International Hostel. Arizona, the state of shame(because of that stupid racist law against immigrants) will give me good memories. Leaving Phoenix, going to El Paso. Before going to El Paso, people scared me about the mexican cartel and drug dealers. But, what I saw there was a hospitable city with a lot of mexican influence. People there told me that the media makes the situation there to look much more critical than really is. For sure there is violence there and something bad could happen with you: if 
you mess with the drug dealers or if you devour money for them. Like in everywhere. The people here should go to Rio de Janeiro to see what is really dangerous. Still in the land of cowboys, Texas, Dallas was my next stop. Big city. I went to the Old Downtown which is beautiful. I enjoyed Dallas’s nightlife at House of Blues and a local bar. (P.S.: I liked Texas’s girls). After Dallas, I took my way to Tyler, the city of roses. I visited the garden’s rose and some historical places. Nice people there, too. At night, I went to a club called Electric Cowboy. It was funny. It had the same atmosphere that has on the Kings of Leon videoclip, King of Rodeo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EosX5fqTDSk . And I discovered why the people says 
“Don’t mess with Texas!”…A big fight took over the place: broken bottles, chairs flying and big guys hurt. I felt myself like I were at a saloon on the Old West. That was my 1st week. It’s just the beginning. My only complaint is about the roads: too long, the same view and a straight line. Hard to be awake.

“Exactly one year ago, I was thinking if it was a good idea to leave
everything behind in Brazil and come to LA or just let my life rollin’
on slow motion. Now, here I am, but just for more 7 hours. I had to
choose between staying LA for more 2 months just doing nothing or doing
something exciting and challenger. I don…‘t like easy ways…Hard ways
makes me feel alive! So, I chose to cross and explore this country for
the next 2 months. Knowing people, knowing places and the most
important: knowing the life. I’m sure is not gonna be easy, but if I
wanted it to be easy, I would have stayed in Brazil. The world is too
big and enchanted to just stay still. And the life is too fast for just
be watched. Make your destiny…”
