Avast ye mateys! Comment like a pirate and give us some of yer buccaneer lore. How is it fun to think like a pirate? Please comment and tell us the tale!
Ahoy there, matey! I’m always a sucker for pirates as in a previous life I was a bar wench by day and a successful female pirate by night! Loved the podcast. “Two Years Before the Mast” sounds like a book that needs to be added to my “to be read” list. You have peaked my interest. Loved the music at the end of the podcast. Great piece. Keep up the good work. You’ll get someone from Wyoming eventually.
Aye, aye, thar be some great readin’ fer ye in that thar journal. Arrrr, thanks for boardin’ our episode 🙂
