Excerpt: “… you and two or three other fellows might make a splendid cruise in a row-boat. You could have a mast and sail, and you could take provisions and things, and cruise from Harlem all the way up into the lakes in the Northern woods. It would be all the same as piracy, except that you would not be committing crimes, and making innocent people wretched.”…”We’d have a gun and a lot of fishing-lines, and we could live on fish and bears. There’s bears in the woods, you know.” [End] ~ Thus four teenage boys set out for adventures being a different sort of pirate - Moral Pirates. - Summary by Laurie Banza (2 hr 32 min)

Don't let the preachy sounding title scare you off. This is a short and amusing tale made up of the sort of adventures one has to expect when turning four 12 - 13 year old boys, who have never sailed or camped before, loose for an independent cruise. Many things are learned, many fish are eaten, and everyone goes home happy.

nahhhh

was a bit bored up to the point where the police officer threatened to shoot dead children on suspicion of petty theft? Then pitied the American mentality
