     “Bombora, starboard bow! Come about, Lad! 

     “The agreement we made, of this venue, was that I would be paid the balance in total of …. 32 DASH, minus the dancing….” said the Lad

The captain, spun around as if to bore through the deck with his Boring Company promotional Not-A-Flame-Thrower. 

   “Say again, Lad?”

    This is where the captain’s parrot, Judy,  barreled through the hatch doors with the top board almost cleaving it in half.  Judy looked back at the near miss and fluffed up a bit… annoyed… that she did not see that coming.

    “I am most dissatisfied with the standing water situation below,” Judy interrupted.  “What progress have you made? Show me your top five bids.”

     Both the captain and the Lad looked disinterested.

     Judy, irritated by their dismissal, flew above the Captain and Lad trying to land deposits onto them.  The captain saw a splat land by his prized penny loafers, looked up, and could make out the silhouette of Judy against the sun.  He pulled out his caterpillar minnow net gun, pointed it toward the sky and fired as he shielded his eyes. He heard a squawk followed by a thud on the deck.  Fortunately for Judy, she landed on a pile of coiled ropes breaking her fall and also fortunately, before joining the crew of the Bombora, she was a training instructor at, HowToGetOutOfNetsOnRopes dot com.  

      The Lad, not known for much of anything, had gone below during this ruckus and removed three cans of Bimini Twist from the galley fridge and by the time he got back up on deck, the Captain and Judy were about to go at it–Judy swinging a spiked mace while the Captain took more modern methods and was slapping in a duct taped pair of magazines into his AR-15. 

 

     “Hold on there you two!” the Lad shouted.  “Try one of these, first.”  

     Judy, skeptical and squinting into the sun, dropped the mace to the deck and reached for the Bimini, the Captain doing the same.

   “Very smooth start with hops coming in strong,” the Captain stated.

   “Dry tart finish.  Although I could not sense the citrus, I could feel the 7.0% ABV creeping up on me… “ Judy added.  “Nice IBU rating– Everything I like in an IPA.”

    “There, now isn’t that better than fighting to the death?” said the Lad.

    “Well…. For now,” remarked Judy.

    “And you, Captain?” the Lad encouraged.”

    The Captain took another swig from the Bimini, as the condensation from the hot humid tropical heat beaded up on his forehead. “Not bad my Lad.  I hope you stocked up on these? I’d hate to see parts of Judy scattered along the deck.”

    “You and what army?” Chided Judy, bringing the three of them to a hearty laugh with their Bimini’s raised above their heads.    

THEIR STORY: Our perfect IPA: Intense citrus and floral hop aroma coupled with slight hints of citrus make this beer as refreshing as a Bimini sea breeze. Don’t let this one get away.
