It’s doesn’t quite rank as high as a leg lamp, but the Pyratsail crew’s Morgan Invasion 2009 Third Place Trophy sits proudly atop our most prestigious bookshelf at Pyratsail Corporate. The plaque lists the captain/owner’s name, our swift boat Mariola, but not the crew that made it all happen. Special thanks to Bill “CannonBall” Bradley, Antony Dalton and Ross Erickson. Huzzah! If you guys want to stop by, you can hold it.

MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. – Florida authorities say a commercial fisherman reeled in a live missile in the Gulf of Mexico and kept it on his boat for 10 days.
The sheriff’s office in Pinellas County say the boat’s captain, Rodney Soloman, hooked the air-to-air guided missile 50 miles off the Panhandle town of Panama City. The Air Force and Navy use Gulf waters off the Panhandle for weapons training.
Soloman had the missile aboard his boat for 10 days before returning Monday to port in Madeira Beach, near St. Petersburg.
A bomb squad was called in from MacDill Air Force Base and dismantled the missile in an empty parking lot.
The bomb squad said the missile was very corroded from floating in saltwater for a long time. They said it was live and in a very unstable state.
