I figured Drake was the kind of guy who would stock his crew with men of his caliber, and those guys tend to make it through hell with a smile.

  Basically, they (almost?) didn't kill any Spaniards when they raided their ships and settlements in South America.

    It's a smart move. Word gets around (slowly) that if you don't fuck with Drake, he'll let you live and be on your way, just a little bit lighter

      It's an irrelevant move. For this voyage Drake traveled faster than news of him. That's a big part of why him and his crew were so successful again and again.
