Guys,

I am reading Sanders book "If a Pirate I must be". What do you guys feel about Roberts being selected as captain after Davis's death? Sanders wrote basically that senior members saw Davis's death as an opportunity to rein in the power of the captains by appointing a weak candidate between powerful competing blocs. Why do you guys figure Roberts was elected captain over Davis's longer termed "lords" like Ashplant, Kennedy, Sutton, Magness, and Skryme among others?

My favorite pirate ship name "The Night Rambler"
