Ubi the Pirate Clown traveled to Beaufort, NC, to be part of the 2013 Pirate Invasion: It takes a village to pillage!
Swords were popular, as were parrots. It wasn’t until the end of the day that Ubi figured out why people started asking for parrots, when he hadn’t heard a request for a parrot in a long time.
