Having a ship and being a pirate don't happen to be mutually exclusive, since it do seem to me your thinker be a bit overtaxed. [Seriously, it's not like this is the first - or even the second - time he's found himself without a ship.] What it do seem is that ye think ye may get the upperhand here in some fashion, boy, but that be hard going, as like as not, I tend not to expound upon the particularities of much of anything - up to and including me profession - to those obviously less nuanced in the art of words.
