Ahoy! Have you heard of the new TV series on NBC? Crossbones! That show is a pretty god one and very piratical in nature. Although it is fiction and is not bases on any historical facts, as far as I can tell, It brings out the probable lifestyles and and culture of a pirate camp/community in the 1600's. It looks like a place if one existed like this, could possibly rival that of Tortuga and/or Libertalia,  If it was a known place. To take one on a journey here is to take a piece out of the original Pirates of the Caribbean, In which only those can find it , if they already know where it is. The loosely based on the fact of the figuring out of longitudes, and how it works with time to know where you are when there is no way to tell,  would make such a place clear possibility in the time setting that it is in.  A passing ship would probably think it is just another deserted island, possibly with natives on it, and that is all, The Cove where th ship is anchored is hidden by a long and shallow channel that no Kings ship would dare to navigate, making it a safe hideaway, and therefore the community itself hidden from the outside world. The  plot originally for Thomas Lowe, a king's man to go under cover, discover where Blackbeard is, and kill him, has turned into  Thomas Lowe ally to Blackbeard, with a sneaky every man for himself type of feeling. It has a very good plot, and I would recommend anyone with  a pirate enthusiasm of any sort to  watch it.  Until next time May the wind always be at your back
