Willems and Wright remain at las Aves…
February 1681 CE
Willems and Wright remain at las Aves until February 1682 and presumably part ways soon after.
During this year, Willems is among those present at a conference on Roatan in one of the largest held gatherings of the "Brethren of the Coast", a loose coalition of pirates and privateers commonly known as buccaneers and active in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
A syndicate of captains with letters of marque and reprisal, who regulate their privateering enterprises within the community of privateers and with their outside benefactors, are primarily private individual merchant mariners of Protestant background, usually of English and French origin.
