Why do people start fires on boats? You would think that if you are on a all wooden ship with black powder you would not want a fire started. It is not a fire that you are thinking about about it is a fire of words not wood. As a pirate you are on a ship out at sea with a crew, by the way have knifes, guns, swords, etc. And to start a fire of words can only end up with more than a few hurt feelings. ( more likely death ) I am not saying we should all be happy it is just there is a time and place to bring up words that will start a fire. Like when a wench is on your lap is not the best time to bring up that she might have gained some weight.

When you travel the ocean blue some times you don't get to pick the crew. I had the opportunity to sail to the west with a mate who had lost much of their thought or reason to rum . I do not say they were drunk the whole time, it is just they must of been drunk most of their life to be in this state. It does make me think that the next time in port I will stay with the wenches not the rum...

"All for one and one for all? " I always thought that was kind of the way it should be and was. I have a new captain ( for now ) WHO DOES NOT FOLLOW THE CODE. That is to say from some he expects more and they get the same when treasure is split, as those who do less. It is some what not so ethical if a pirate could be ethical. I would worry some if I thought this captain would last, I am sure he will not end well, there are a few wenches that will have him in , or the crew will cast him out. As for me I do what I do as a pirate and get the share that I get, for I just spend it on wenches and lust.

I captained the ship for three hours and fended off an attack form a British man-a-war yet no one saw. The main crew was off at shore leave and I was in charge. The crew was just the young back up gang that knew me as a good ol pirate. My day of glory was almost ill spent, risk life in hopes of fame and no on cared but the crew who lived. Well the stories they will tell might help with wenches and a few bar maids, but it will not secure my own ship or get me promoted to first mate. Oh well a good fight and good stories are worth the risk,.. for in the end all that counts is being a pirate and good wenches.

As a Pirate I never thought that I might need to change the way I am. Then I thought about what if the ship ever goes down or what if I fall over board? Well I might have to drop a few pounds, well a more like a lot of pounds. Oh well if I don't I will still be a Pirate, and if I do I might live a few more days. Then there are the wenches, if I lose a few pounds will I get more ? So far no trouble, yet the what if is still a idea and a fun one...

Why is one race better than some other? As a pirate you are a pirate you could be from Spain , or from China or from France , or Africa, or even England( as long as you weren't English) you would still be a pirate. The same is more true for wenches.

When you work with a good crew everything goes right. Even as a pirate there is a right and wrong. The one thing thing you don't need to do as a pirate is to ask one of your crew to lie for ya. Now if it be a good cause like a wench or for gold or maybe keep from swinging a lie is a good thing. But to ask a crew member to lie just to puff up your self and look good to the other pirates that is not a good pirate, it is more like an English officer . (Lie to a wench is fine, if she is fine !!! )
