Jack Rackham's New Boat

 Most folks that follow me know Jack. My oldest grandson that is. He's the treasure huntin', ghost chasin', time travelin' subject of my JACK RACKHAM ADVENTURE series. Spent some time on the phone with him the other day. Awesome kid. Love him like crazy (& Isabel & Jacob too!). 

Now I'm 3/4 of the way through a new book - Isabel is the primary character (Jack makes an appearance), & this one is a bit scarier than the others. I mean, what's so scary about confronting ghosts, dead pirates, zombies, shape shifters, evil slave traders & going back in time after a dangerous trek through the jungle & swimming in an underground river. Child's Play. Had to kick it up a few notches. (Jacob's book is done, with another in the works, but I can't get the art work right.)

Anyway, Jack has his smaller boat, BAD LATITUDE which Pop bought for him when he was 15. Now that Jack's older now, & has lotsa money from treasure hunting he went n' bought his bad self a new boat - custom built in the UK - named it Cacique - if ya read BAD LATITUDE it'll tell you where that name comes from. 

Here are some pictures of the new ride. 

I mean the kid needs some space - 90' should work

Gotta have a place to hang out inside

& a little kitchen area

& a place to run the boat from inside in bad weather

 & a nice outdoor spot for lunch

& naturally a tolerable place to sleep.

Yep. The kid has come a long way since this picture was taken, a while before becoming a treasure hunter. That's the great thing about having grandkids, & being a grandfather writing YA Fiction. #havingablast
