So you would come across pirates out there fishing in the South China seas?

Tell us some sea fairing stories uncle Pacfan
Ahh, you mean those ol' fishermen's tales. There's a saying 'do not believe in a fisherman's tales,' you know those tales recounting the fishermen's heroic excapades on sea and nearby shore with lots of booze and gals to go with them. Nope, there are no ship waiting in the middle of the sea with many a nice women on board. There's no mermaid either, only seacows or dugongs which fishermen sometimes mistake for one. Smalltime fisherman's life is actually a bore, just cruising around the shorelines catching mostly cheap fishes. The only thing 'exciting' about it are the dangers that comes with it, like a sudden squall with a tornado like winds and rains coming out of nowhere, is the worst, and it'll give you the shivers. Naw, I guess I'm too old for those thrills now so I've turned into an armchair fisherman, letting others do the fishing for me in our fishing village here and just enjoying my li'l fishing sitting on the bank of the nearby shore, musing at the marvel of the horizon and the world beyond, and of course without the booze and the gals and that ain't no tale. Sorry to disappoint you mate but I guess real world is more of a drab and I'm not fit to weave a fancy tale. But if I can think of one, maybe I just might, lol...
