Legend of the YoHo Motel

Legend of the YoHo Motel was originally published under the pen name, M. J. Waverly. Welcome to the YoHo Motel.  It's Captain Kane Saxon.  Four hundred and fifty years ago, I was cursed by the dreaded pirate witch, Cordelia Jones.  Something went wrong with the curse.  Neptune intervened and tweaked it a wee bit from your doomed-to-sail-the seven-seas-curse.  During the day, I Possess my one-eyed ship cat, Chester(with the option of being a ghost.).  Good to have options.  During the hours of midnight to one a.m., I am human for one hour.  Three of my crew possess the bodies of pelicans.  We're doomed to this existence until we can find our Letters of Marque proving we were privateers, not pirates.  So far no luck for me, for my crew or my cat.
That is until the delectable Allie McCoy, a descendant of one of my crew takes over guardianship of the YoHo Motel.  Will she be the one to break our curse?
