George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
When the ship encountered strong winds, George would call for full sail to get the ship to full speed.
Then, he’d drop a line down the stern and strap on his waterskis.
George skimmed along the water, laughing and doing stunts with the ship’s wake.
He did flips and twists, and the rest of the crew cheered.
“Can I have a turn?” shouted the captain.
“No!” shouted George. “Get your own rope!”
The captain cut the rope with his dagger.
“Then get your own damn boat,” said the captain.
