Studying

Ethan is busy studying for his vocation as a good pirate. Thanks to this book on pirates from Usborne books (they have some awesome books!) he knows:

~what careening is

~what sword is designed for fighting in close spaces

~what a sloop is

~what booty is (pirate booty, for any of you who are snickering out there)

~why pirates ate in the dark

~how the cook of the ship was chosen

... and numerous other facts about pirates that he would be happy to share with you if you ever ask him!
