And how do elections and Halloween have anything whatsoever to do with things nautical?   Well here it is - a three year old in a pirate costume ready to go out trick or treating on Halloween.   Halloween is coming up on Friday and the polls suggest that it is very likely that this young pirate, now 44 years older, may just be elected president on Tuesday.   Can we say aaargh? Yes, we can.
