Bitter Ends in Halloween Costume Halloween Sail to Snake Island
was a huge success as many Bitter
Ends got into costume as Pirates,
Wenches, a Black Cat, and
the Devil.  Prizes were awarded
for best costume.  At Snake
Island Red Beard the Pirate
arrived with Treasure.
Lots of Photos were taken of the
Motley Crew in the act of pillaging.
