After a long journey, the Jolly Roger 1 has returned to Barbadian shores.
The schooner sailed into the Careenage yesterday afternoon to Madd’s version of Who Put De Peppa In De Vaseline?
There was a crowd of about 50 people waiting eagerly on the dock to congratulate Black Pearl Party Cruises owners Allan Kinch and Martin Bynoe, who will be operating the tours.
A satisfied Bynoe said the trip took them from the Honduras, where the ship was bought, to Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, St Kitts, and then Barbados.
He said the popular red sails were recognized everywhere they went.
Kinch said he wanted to thank the captain David Marshall from the United States, and the crew for an “outstanding” job.
“We had some big seas, but she [the schooner] handled them beautifully,” he reported.
Bynoe said they would be taking the assembled crowd on a free trip “up the coast” where they planned to blow the horn at the home of previous captain Shane Atwell, who was ailing.
