Rudy Scheer stood on the edge of the Florida Coast, looking east towards open seas and the northernmost islands of the Florida Keys, declaring:

"We're going on a pirate hunt!"

What, exactly, is a pirate hunt? Justin Case is not certain. However, he and Rudy have heard tales of a remarkable clue hiding in Biscayne Bay.
