Captain Graybeard’s Pirate Treasure Hunt
Captain Graybeard is a pirate with a problem – too many barnacles on the brain. He keeps forgetting things, important things like which end of the
ship is the bow or which end is up. Help him by filling in the answers for each number from 1-30. The clues will be right in front of you, sort of,
although you may have to put your pirate hat on and use your imagination to figure out the answers. Your journey will take you to four fascinating
islands. Once you’ve helped Graybeard with the answers, try the bonus question and rearrange the 19 letters to figure out the captain’s last
message. You just might get a reward from Graybeard’s treasure for your help! Arrh!
