Rihanna works her best "ahoy, matey!" pose as she leaves a Santa Monica restaurant.

Do you guys ever wonder what would happen if Rihanna decided to ditch her life as a pop star in favor of becoming a ship captain? Because if you ever DID wonder that, then please enjoy this vaguely foreshadowing photo of Rihanna werquing the "ahoy, matey!" pose. Yep, the one pirates and boat drivers use. She's already the captain of the Rihanna Navy, why not practice some moves for her fleet?

Sure, so Rihanna becoming an actual ship captain might be a tad of a stretch considering her life already consists of chilling with the U.S. Olympic Gold Medal Women's Gymnastics Team, nailing her A$AP Rocky-assisted VMA performance of "Cockiness" and "We Found Love," and winning the VMA for "Video Of The Year," but she sure does look adorable rocking her ship captain pose! Too bad she was probably just shielding her eyes from throngs of paparazzi trying to snap a photo of her at Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, and not navigating the treacherous waters of the Bermuda Triangle! But if she does ever become a sea captain, don't forget you heard it here first!
