Is it just me, or are we really the only group of citizens on Earth, that could have a Highway named the Buccaneer Trail and a Ferry named for "The Buccaneer", and somehow miss the current Hollywood connection? Will we sit and blow it again? I don't think this could be much better if the "Black Pearl" herself started running the service. Naming rights anyone? A wharf Village? Hotel? Resort? I'm sorry, I sometimes forget I'm dealing with my home town. Damn!

The historic Buccaneer Ferry, a key link on our only "real" tourism area, Highway A-1-A, the Beaches - Mayport - Talbot Island and Fernandina, may soon be history! The Governor has struck the funding for OUR SHIP from the budget. FIGHT BACK JACKSONVILLE! A forum has been created for this purpose PLEASE JOIN US AT:
