Seafaring Sunday: Blackbeard's Ruminations

Such a day... rum all out. Our company somewhat sober. A damned confusion amongst usual Rogues a-plotting. Great talk of separation. So I looked for a sharp prize.

Such a day... took one, with a great deal liquor on board so kept the company hot, damned hot, then all things went well again.

  2. Ahoy, Timmy! I'm as yet not entirely on board with this stuff being authentic but it's funny either way.
