Port Canaveral, FL (AP) - Florida State Police and US Coast Guard are on the alert for a potential threat expected to hit the east coast of Florida on Saturday. Rumors of a man masquerading as a cruise ship captain have been circulating the internet for a few weeks now and authorities are concerned that this could be a possible terrorist threat or hijacking. Calling himself Captain Veranda, this mysterious stranger is subject to fits of uncontrollable glee and hysteria and has been known to commit random acts of kindness.
Sometime seen wearing nothing more than underpants, a cape and a fake captain's hat, Captain Veranda is a known shrimp thief and is suspected to have a partner, only known as "rae". His unusual name is attributed to a lifelong desire to occupy a stateroom with a balcony and seeks out cruise ships with only this type of accommodation. He is described as medium height, medium build, and dark hair and wears glasses. He is armed and has been caught challenging unsuspecting people to duels with pianos.
Police believe his target may be the Disney Magic, since he mistakenly believes he is the real captain. Authorities are concerned that once aboard the Magic, he will subject the 2,000 plus guests to excessive mirth and outrageous behavior. The Magic will be which sailing on Saturday with a seven-day itinerary with stops in St. Martin, St. Thomas and Disney's own island in the Bahamas. Once onboard the ship, local authorities will be helpless to stop this man. People who spot anyone matching this description are urged to contact the authorities immediately and are warned not to approach the suspect, unless armed with a Bahama Mama or a Conch Cooler.
