Stories were heirlooms in these parts.
~ Robert Kurson
It wasn't who a person believed himself to be or what he pretended he would do in a given situation. It was what he did when he got there that defined him.
The feeling of a place was the best reason to go.
Sometimes the imagination could be even crueler than the bone saw.
Even their downtime was epic.
Reputation became the pirates' sharpest sword.
It was too late for he and his father to have an adventure, and NOTHING seemed to have any color anymore.
Real pirates were better than in movies, more daring and terrifying and cunning than any screenwriter could imagine. They operated during the Golden Age of Piracy, from 1650 to 1720.
It's never too late in life to have a genuine adventure.
