Ye land lubber! A pirate has two eyes, good as yours, maybe better. The
patch, laddy, is so that one eye is used to the dark. Makes it easier
to see when you go below decks, me boy. When you are standin' by to
repel boarders, there be no time for an eye to adjust to the dark
below, so in battle we wears a patch over one eye. When we goes below,
we flips up the patch.

That was then, this is now. All good pirates know from the days
when they were but wee scouts that it's wise to be prepared.
Today's pirates know that when they're attacking and trying to board
treasure laden Spanish frigates that their boarding parties will
have to fend off blazing muskets and Canons. And after being
temporarily blinded by their flashes and preflashes they'll still
have to be able to advance. That's when they flips up them patches
matey, or they pays a visit to Davy Jones. Arrrr.

Nice work with the Canons and preflashes.
