Ye pirate, Ol’ Billy Bowlegs left a treasure on our coast and history says that treasure is still out thar. To find it ye must get ye a map. What scallywags have the map – ye inquire? Ye ol’ Chamber of Commerce, Bluewater Outriggers and The Star. Ye can barter for ye map with just 2 doubloons, or for free with a receipt from Ye Ol’ Chamber traders in the village of St. Joseph.
It was a long time ago, Ol’ Bowlegs did land pretty close to where the boats now moor. His crew did pillage and plunder due north by the compass. They strolled around looking for grill and grog nearby so keep your eyes sharp and try to find why.
Ol’ Billy Bowlegs sailed into a deep port always on the lookout for some sport. Staying on his ship was just not an option so he ravaged the village and found a concoction. The ol’ Grill & Grog will make ye a Rogue to the High Seas
Some say the treasure is something to eat but that is not true. A coin ye be finding that is silver not blue. Upon getting his land legs to rule over his sea legs he roamed. His time here was busy and he headed to the north in search of water that was fresh. His men were not well groomed and longed for a bath. They traveled in groups and threatened use of their guns they did warn. Searching for treasure can be quite tiring. At a Ship’s Store there are things you’d be admiring. The smell of the sea, a clue this could be. The treasure it seems is just waiting for ye! If a pirate ye be and find the great coin. Ye be able to storm the Chamber office or make a hit at their festival to claim your prize. You solved the clues and in glory ye’ll bask. It looks like you were one pirate that was up to the task. If the Pirates catch ye, ye’ll be swimmin’ with the fishes, just like the coin, only ye’ll find if ye wishes. A high hanging Pirate over water of blue, ready to outfit Pirates like you! If a pirate ye be and find the great coin. Ye be able to storm the Chamber office or make a hit at their festival to claim your prize. You solved the clues and in glory ye’ll bask. It looks like you were one pirate that was up to the task.
