Trekker's Very Bad Mood

Trekker, the Traveling Tiger, woke up seriously on the wrong side of the bed this morning. From the minute he opened his eyes he was scratching, snarling, growling and hissing! When we finally settled him down, he told us the reason for his terrible mood was that he thinks a traveling tiger should be . . . well, traveling and he hasn’t been anywhere for quite awhile. Grandma was able to tame him just long enough to do some housecleaning, but his bad mood didn't begin to lift until the three of us (along with our neighbor, Sister Harris) jumped in the car and headed out to explore our island.

Trekker didn’t like the traffic (driving on the left side of the road is, admittedly, still pretty scary), but relaxed when we finally ended up at a marina filled with hundreds of sailing ships, moored in this part of the Caribbean chain because there hasn't been a hurricane in Trinidad for more than 40 years.

There was also a huge big cannon. We asked several people about the cannon but no one seemed to know much about it. After checking it closely, Trekker was quite convinced the cannon had come from the deck of the Black Pearl and had been used by Captain Jack Sparrow to battle the Pirates of the Caribbean. Not sure if he's right (though the setting fits), but it is certainly a better story than anyone else told us!
