Isaac, Temecula, CA “I wish to be A pirate”Pirates fascinate Isaac. Ever since he saw the movie Pirates of the Caribbean he has wanted to be a pirate. He draws maps of buried treasure in his room and always puts on his best pirate face when he is searching for the hidden riches. When Make-A-Wish offered Isaac anything his heart desired, he knew there was only one thing he wanted: to be a pirate captain for a day. Captain Isaac and his family sailed to USC’s Wrigley Marine Center on Catalina Island to begin his adventure. As the family disembarked, Captain Isaac’s motley pirate crew greeted him. The crew was anxiously waiting for their new Captain because they needed to find the secret treasure of Catalina. Following some pirate antics, the Captain and crew found the long-lost treasure map and their journey to find the riches began. Captain Isaac and his crew sailed the Catalina seas together in kayaks, meticulously following each clue on the map. After sailing and searching the island, Captain Isaac and his crew finally located the hidden treasure chest! They put on their best pirate faces, let out their special pirate yell and started digging. Captain Isaac was in awe as he opened the treasure chest to find precious jewels, gold coins and priceless riches. To complete Captain Isaac’s extraordinary day, his crew gave him a special pirate shirt that has their famous pirate yell, “What arrrrgh you looking at?" The Captain cherishes the gift from his crew and wears it on his daily adventures at home. It cerrrrtainly was a day Captain Isaac will never forget! * Thank you to wish sponsor The Matt Leinart Foundation for their continued support of our wish kids |
