Splash for Charity in the Key West Bight at Schooner Wharf Bar
The Rain Couldn’t Take The Hilarity Out of Charity
On a Day of Record Rainfall --- Large Crowd Shows for Walk the Plank
Party
A rum and rain soaked but highly enthusiastic piratical crowd gathered
to watch Mayor Morgan McPherson being sent in to Davy Jones’ Locker
(the Key West Bight) He was joined by City Manager Jim “Dagwood”
Scholl and Schooner Wharf co-owner Evalena Worthington. The trio all
walked the plank off Key West’s flagship Schooner Western Union to
raise over $1,600 for the Boys and Girls Club and The Western Union
Preservation Society.
Tonna Denny had the winning raffle ticket to escort Mayor Morgan off
the plank, who was a major “splash-hit” with his cannonball. Not to be
out done, Dagwood scored a 10 with the crowd with his pencil dive and
Evalena leaped off the plank.
Our local Bone Island Buccaneer’s read articles of piracy, performed
songs and entertained the crowd.
Costume Contest winners were: Best Pirate: Captain Frye
Sexiest Wench: Theresa the Terrible
Cut Throat Surprise: Deadly Diana
Nationally
renowned Biscuit Miller and the Mix kept everyone in happy feet.
