    Catching Up

    January 11, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    2022 has started out with a bang, and have already run 6 hash trails, and hared 3 of them. Had a Jolly Roger H3 1 Jan hangover trail in the morning, then drove across the state to hash with the Other Orlando H3 that afternoon. The next day I was down in Sarasota to hash with the Circus H3. I hared for Jolly Roger H3 on 5 Jan, then for the St Pete H3 on 7 Jan, and for the Tampa Bay H3 on 8 Jan. Time is zipping right along, as I fill my otherwise free time with helping coordinate the InterAmericas' Hash in Colombia, and several other hash related activities. Life in Retirement is pretty busy.Read more

    Jolly Roger Pirate Invasion Hash Cruise

    January 21, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Headed out for an 8 days on the high seas of the Caribbean. The annual Jolly Roger H3 hash cruise includes a prelube hash on 21 Jan in Miami, then 8 days at sea with port calls in Aruba, Bonaire, and two stops in the Dominican Republic. Great times with good friends. We had 45 hashers onboard, and a few local hashers joined in at a couple port calls.Read more

    Pirate Invasion Hash - Aruba

    January 25, 2022 in Aruba ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Jolly Roger Pirate Invasion H3 – Aruba 2022

    We scored our first Island Invasion hash, as the blood thirsty pack of 45 found their way off the boat and into the awaiting bus. Driving over to the west coast, the pack was soon standing tall and ready to rape and pillage their way through the ritzy beach front property on their way to finding the ill gotten booty. Our hares, Ivanna Hairy Buttchug & Indiana Bones And The Temple Of Poon, conducted a short chalk talk, and then scampered off into the sand.

    Meanwhile, the pack conducted the usual introductory blather, along with some warm up frolicking about, and we were soon off in pursuit. The first mile was straight through the lounging quests lying about in their fancy hotel beach chairs, the pack whooped and hollered and eventually found the beer check at the Pelican Beach Bar. After a quick splash of island beer, the pack was off again through the streets. Drawing more attention from the local tourist population, we eventually hooked down along a sandy path, and found the hares waiting with more beer, at the base of a observation tower. The hares split up at this point, one runners trail, and one for the walkers, we continued down the coast passing the romantic spot where the hares got engaged several years ago . . . awwwww, and their still married. 😊 (at least that is their story, never can be too sure).

    The trails merged for the last half mile stretch into the beach front paradise we called the on home, where a trash bag full of beer awaited the parched pack. Inflate-a-date executed (no, not that kind of pirate activity), a jovial circle with many down downs, before sending them all into the warm tropical waters. With the pack fully sated with beer, and sunshine, it was back on the bus for the ride back to our pirate ship. Well done to our hares, for the fun trail and tour down memory lane. On On to our next stop on Bonaire.    Read more

    Bonaire Flamingo H3

    January 26, 2022 in Bonaire ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Bonaire Flamingo H3 & Jolly Roger Pirate Invasion H3 – Bonaire 2022

    Another island, another great day to be hashing. Our hares Where Do You Get Off!?!? (BFH3) and Hazukashii (JRH3) teamed up to help the pack develop a thirst, and then quench that thirst in beer. It was a 10 am boat time / 11 am Bonaire time hares away, and the pack was soon in hot pursuit. WDYGO!?!? is a local brew master, so about one mile into trail including a section on the beach, the runners found a beer check at his home (the walkers got a short cut).

    After a we bit of golden nectar, the pack was once again hot on the trail. The second half of trail was much more shiggy laden, and even passed a large pond with some of these namesake Flamingos wetting themselves, as the pack made their way around town. After a couple more miles of dirt and mud, BN was spied on the pavement, and the pack was on into a large parking lot, where we headed straight to the waiting kegs of frothy suds. WDYGO!?!? performed a magical circle that entertained the pirates for nearly an hour.

    But was that good enough for us, HECK NO . . . we wandered back towards the boat, but soon found a pub nearby to swill a few more local malted beverages before swinging back on board for our 3 pm departure (boat time that is) D) Many thanks to our hosts from the Bonaire Flamingo H3 . . . WDYGO!?!? and his wife, and Madam Flash for their hashpatality. Next stop . . . the Dominican Republic, and more trail.    Read more

    Pirate Invasion Hash - La Romana, DR

    January 27, 2022 in Dominican Republic ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Jolly Roger Pirate Invasion H3 – La Romana (DR)

    The Pirate cruise had never been to this port, so it was new for all of us. The question I got most was how did you figure out the trail? Well, we hit the port at 1130, and I was off and on my way. I had done a Google maps recce a couple weeks in advance, and looking at the first map, you can see the target area I figured would be good hashing territory.

    The second map shows where I was able to scout upon arrival. Point A is where the first guard told me I could not go left (north), I could only go right. Point B is where another guard told me . . . no go brother, can’t go this way. So my only choice at this point was to go the other way, so I snuck behind the first guard, and went north anyway. Point C is as far north along the railroad tracks as I got, when I determined the trail was going to be too long if I went up into the originally projected area, so turned back and headed west and into town, hoping there was something interesting to hash through. Passing a dozen hashers on the bridge, who were out for lunch, I just took the first right and hoped for the best. Finding a stairway down to the river, trail was able to get in some interesting alleyways, before finding its way back up to the main town area. Working my way north again, and reaching point D, there was nothing interesting up there, just solid city blocks. Heading south again, I found a couple parks to run through, and passed the hashers I saw on the bridge, in a restaurant. Passing just 5 feet away from them, they never saw me on the street, so all was well. Trail then took the only possible route to get back to the ship, which was back across the bridge, and then turn right into the port area.    Read more

    Pirate Invasion Hash - Amber Cove, DR

    January 28, 2022 in Dominican Republic ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Jolly Roger Pirate Invasion H3 – Amber Cove (DR)

    It was our final stop, and all eyes were on our hares . . . Feels Up Screams, Math Sucks, Skeletwhore, and Just Alex as we pulled into Amber Cove (our second stop in the Dominican Republic). We waited patiently for the appointed time to arrive, and we all gathered round. Blow and Go was RA for the day, and sent the hares off in a cloud of flour and ankles akimbo. Trail snaked its way along the path (stay on the path damnit), and out onto the main road.

    The turkeys went left, and the runners went right and on down the way, turned right again and headed towards the beach. At this point is when Lifa found the check back from hell, which consumed him . . . and it appears most of the pack for some time. One highly intelligent hasher turned left at this point, and found true trail. Hollering back to the pack, Wet Muscle started to follow, and then for some totally unknown reason turned around and went back to play on the back check for another 20 minutes. The highly intelligent hasher, thinking the rest of the pack was just behind him and would soon be catching up, continued on down the old dirt road.

    Come to find out, Wet Muscle later stated, she DID NOT TRUST the highly intelligent hasher . . . WTF?!?!?! While the rest of the pack played around looking for trail, that one hasher made his way all the way back to the port, where the trails merged and made their way down to the beach, just across the bay from the boat. Copious amounts of beer were sipped, with great anticipation of the circle to be had.

    Once the pack straggled in, Blow and Go took over again, and passed out the down downs . . . UNTIL . . . Inflate-a-date stepped into circle, and pausing several times considering how he was going speak, what words to use (which I am sure he had juggled around in his mind for months) . . . he finally just spoke from the heart, and with the Grease theme playing in all our minds (You’re the one that I want, whooo whooo whooo) . . . he took one knee in front of Feels Up Screams, with a small box containing a big rock . . . and in a sheepish voice proclaimed . . . I brought a cooler, can you make me a sammich babe . . . NO, he proudly exclaimed WILL YOU MARRY ME? Then it was all Love Boat theme . . . Awww, love is in the air, do do do, DODO dodo. Love is in the air . . . CONGRATS to the two lovebirds.

    As they staggered off to the corner to copulate, the rest of the pack either jumped in the bay, or gathered round to sing some hash songs. And then that time finally arrived, it was time to get back on the boat to make the final sail back to Miami . . . and it was Tiny Tim at the end of the Christmas Carol . . . God Bless Us One and All.

    But that is not the end of the story, there are still some goofy shit to take place on our last day at sea . . . See you there, On On.    Read more
