Let me tell you a tale which I believe to be mostly true. However I shall leave that for you to decide.
Year: 1497
It's only been five years since Columbus discovered the new world. Everyone rushed out at once so all the land is believed to have been found and claimed.
But there are still those of us who will chase our supposedly empty dreams until we find them. We will hunt them down till we are nothing but bones and our souls have long left us.
Even if our ship turns to ash we will still find a way to sail. And when all else fails we will still move forward with a strong wind.
For we are the supposed scaliwags of this region. We are the treasure hunters of these seas. We are........lost at sea.

"Caption that was a great speech and all but I think the end made us all feel worse." John said walking up to his sulking caption.
"No it's not John. A pirate doesn't get lost on his own sea." The caption said before starting to sob a little more.
John sighed and walked away to join the other crew.

"So how's the caption" one of the other crew members asked as John neared their side of the ship.
"He's still sulking at the bottom of the stairs." John said with a sight. "I'll be able to steer us into the nearest port once the stars come out". He informed the crew.
"Until night fall we should lower the anchor and rest." With that he disappeared below deck.

Later that night after the caption had gone to sleep in his cabin the rest of the crew came out and began to work.
Soon they where sailing quickly and according to John in the right direction.
