  2. What Iam Looking For • Good thinking • Good research

  3. Pirate drinks • Water tasted horrible. It was kept on board ship for a long time and it went bad very quickly • Pirates drank drinks like rum that wouldn’t taste as horrible • They sometimes mixed in lemon, ginger or nutmeg to make drinks taste better
