I am originally from OC, first water park I went was Newport Dunes in 1. I'm sure it's just an oversight.

PJ Wheeler- island resident from birth (1. I got disgusted with the overcrowding, as well as with the plastic people who need to say they live in Newport just because they have no self esteem (and guys who have small penises, too!). I guess I don't need to mention the Hummer drivers with size 8 shoes. I'm thinking Eastbluff, Cameo Shores, and where there used to be cows (Newport Coast).

PJ Wheelerpj@birdsinsuburbia. I used to enjoy seeing the enlarged, full screen, old postcards on this site. Can it be fixed to show them larger? It always makes me feel happy to see it when I can't be there in person. Thank You !!!!!!!!

Josie also known As the Mexican Surfer Girl Anonymous. Hi Jim and fans! I notice a lot of folks asking for personal memories, so here's my two cents: -the Mayflower house at the corner of Park and Coral on Balboa Island..

The gum trees are still there. And the old wooden gates to close off the end. The guys on duty had to walk down to our house, as the truck was getting new brakes! Out I came, right then and there!- Parking before the street sweeping thing.. Remember Ozzie? I will love you forever, dear boy. Will you remember you and I as well? So young an sweet..

The beginning of the crap being built all over the Island now. Munching mushrooms straight from the cow patties before surfing. Hey, what was, in the sixties? Sadly, I would never want to go back. TOO MANY PEOPLE. I believe the owners were Jim & Bobbi. Also a place called Wheeler's Trading Post.

C, Marshallendoline. It appears to me, after following the 'Surfline' cam at 'The Wedge' for over a year and watching the wave formations there, that 'The Wedge' is not what it once was. Gail Wilson. 09gwilson@comcast. Jim, you should save and put all these comments in a book and save them for posterity.

The film received criticism for its complicated and convoluted plot, though the performances, visuals, music and shorter running time were praised; some critics considered the film an improvement over its predecessor, while others felt the franchise had run its course. Will does not believe the Trident exists and orders Henry to leave his ship and never come back. Nine years later (and five after the events On Stranger Tides), Henry works on a British Royal Navy warship. While chasing a pirate ship, Henry realizes they are sailing into the Devil's Triangle.

The captain dismisses his concerns and has Henry locked up for attempting mutiny. Upon entering the Triangle, they come across a shipwreck, and are attacked by Captain Salazar and his undead crew, who slaughter everyone on board except Henry. Salazar sees that Henry is searching for Jack, spares his life and asks him to tell Jack that death is coming his way. He claims he would inform Sparrow himself, but admits, . She escapes her cell and briefly runs into Jack, who is fleeing with his crew with a vault from a bank they have just robbed. Jack and his crew evade the British Army, but realize the vault they stole is empty; Jack's crew abandons him for letting them down.

Carina later meets Henry, who is awaiting execution for his actions aboard the ship, and says she knows of a way to find the Trident. Carina helps him escape, but is caught by the British Army. Disheartened after losing his crew, Jack goes to a local tavern and gives away his compass to pay for his drink. By forsaking the compass, however, he unwittingly unleashes Salazar and his crew from the Devil's Triangle. Shortly after, Jack is caught by the British Army.

As he and Carina are about to be executed, Henry helps them escape with help from Jack's crew, and together they sail away on Jack's ship, the Dying Gull. Carina reveals the stars are the map that will lead them to the Trident, and reluctantly decides to team up with Henry and Jack in order to achieve their goals.

While searching for Jack, Salazar and his crew roam the seas and destroy ships in Captain Barbossa's fleet. Barbossa meets with Salazar and offers to help find Jack in exchange for sparing his fleet. Salazar explains to Barbossa that he and his crew once sailed the seas hunting and killing pirates, and had nearly cleansed the seas of piracy before they ran into a young Jack Sparrow, who tricked them into sailing into the Devil's Triangle, where Salazar and his crew were cursed to remain undead. When Salazar's ship finds the Dying Gull, Jack, Henry and Carina escape on a rowboat while the crew remains on board to cause a distraction. Salazar and his crew chase Jack, but upon arriving at a small island, Jack realizes Salazar's ghost crew cannot step on land. Barbossa arrives at the island and allies with Jack, restoring the Black Pearl, which had been trapped in a bottle in Jack's possession, to its original size. With Jack's compass, which he obtained from the sea- witch Shansa, Barbossa takes command of the ship and lets Carina navigate them to the island.

During the trip, Jack and Barbossa realize that Carina is Barbossa's long- lost daughter. Barbossa tells Jack that he left her at an orphanage with his diary to make sure she lived a better life, never imagining that he would see her again. The Pearl narrowly escapes a British Navy warship, which is destroyed by Salazar's ship. Jack and Salazar's crews clash.

Meanwhile, Jack and Carina manage to activate the island's magic, which parts the ocean to reveal a hidden path along the ocean floor. Salazar captures Henry and possesses his body to pursue them. Jack and Carina locate the trident, but Salazar intervenes, fighting Jack and seizing the Trident. Henry, now free of Salazar, realizes that destroying the Trident will break all curses upon the sea and shatters it, returning Salazar and his crew to life. As the divided sea slowly caves in, the Pearl attempts to rescue Jack, Henry, Carina, and Barbossa, lowering the ship's anchor into the narrowing trench to pull them to safety, but—still intent on killing Jack—Salazar grabs the anchor as well. Carina notices a tattoo on Barbossa's arm, matching the cover of her diary, and realizes that he is her father. After proclaiming his love for her, Barbossa sacrifices himself to take down Salazar and his crew and save Carina and the others.

Following Barbossa's death, Carina changes her last name to Barbossa. Some time later, Henry is joined by Carina, as they watch his father finally set foot on land again, no longer bound to the Flying Dutchman. As Henry and Carina kiss, Will is reunited with his wife Elizabeth. Watching from the deck of the Pearl, Jack sails away with his crew, opening up his mystical compass to reveal their next adventure. In a post- credits scene, Will and Elizabeth are asleep when their bedroom is entered by the silhouette of an apparently resurrected Davy Jones.

Just as Jones raises his clawed arm to strike at the couple, Will awakens and assumes this to be a nightmare, oblivious to the presence of barnacles on the floor amid a small puddle of seawater. Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow.

In the film, according to director Joachim R. I wanted a story about real people, real characters – and then Jack Sparrow comes in and crashes the party every now and then. After escaping, he seeks the Trident of Poseidon to wipe out all piracy and exact revenge on his old enemy, Captain Jack Sparrow.

In the film, Barbossa has become extremely wealthy since the previous film, with Rush referring to him as a . He struggles to break a curse that is preventing him from doing so. Scodelario explained the character's motivation and role saying, . So she's on her own journey – looking for the trident of Poseidon – and she has a diary with clues. She's a modern woman.

Carina has definitely got a little bit of both. Speaking about his possible return to the franchise, Bloom stated that he would love to portray a character outside of his usual role types as a good- looking hero: . It might be kind of fun to do something where I'm rumbling 'round the bottom of the ocean, because I won't look anything like me.
