Isaac is fascinated by pirates. Ever since he saw the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean” he has wanted be a pirate. He draws maps to buried treasure in his room and always puts on his best pirate face when he is searching for the hidden riches. When Isaac learned he could have anything his heart desired from Make-A-Wish, 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, they were greeted by Captain Isaac’s motley pirate crew for the day. 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 treasure 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!
