Completely flat water, all sails furled, captain and first officer without uniform rank distinctions hanging midships looking at the quarterdeck, one single sailor...

You say you're nasty pirates

Scheming, thieving, bad bushwhackers?

From what I've seen, I tell you

You're not pirates! You're just slackers!

Here is a fun fact: To clean themselves after taking a dump, sailors would use something like a brush, old sail canvas or maybe old rope, that has been hanging overboard in the water - So something like a communal and intensively reused wet wipe.

So like a rag on a rope that they tow under water?

Yepp. Sometimes the Canvas was also tarred to make it more durable, but.. well if you have touched sail canvas just imagine this but covered in tar to wipe your behind
