While we all like to have a good time and enjoy pokin' fun at "polyester pyrates", we do take a serious turn at separatin' fact from fiction...many a seafarer died early for want o' proper knowledge!<br /><br />We're none of us wee'ns wavin' a plastic cutlass around; we've a few leagues sailed and a few tankards emptied - and perhaps more than a passing idea o' what we speak (or at the very least the wherewithal to do the research).<br /><br />Thank ye for keep the ship aright...Capt.
