His navigating and ship combat skills were unmatchable, and he successfully plundered a numerous vessels. However, he often didn't get along with his crew, which completely ruined him and put the end to his career. While operating between Cuba and Hispaniola he and his crew attacked a vessel, but after a few shoots he decided to flee from the battle.
