Am I the only one watching Pirate Master?

I told myself I wasn't going to get sucked into it. Looked too goofy. Then I saw that they were actually sailing that ship, having been given a crash course in it. I can only imagine real experts are on hand, out of camera range. That ship's worth way too much to do otherwise.

This is playing out a little bit like a grown up version of Lord of the Flies, but not quite as severe. I get a kick out of these things because you can see people lay their misconceptions about themselves and the way things work out in the open.

Sort of like an elaborate game of new chess, with stakes right out in the open and a much more complex board.
