Dadgum, I wrote out a long post and must have hit the
wrong button, will try and reconstruct it later.
Enjoyed the first 100. Wish I could type well
enough to try writing. Have you read any Fenimore
Cooper? Not Last of the Mohicans or deerslayer but
his sea stories? My favorites are The Crater and
Miles Wallingford. American seamen in the early
1800s. Great stories which display American individuality
and idealism, with enough plot twists and adventure
to keep you interested.

Keep up the great work.

I am only familiar with Fenimore Cooper via the film version of Mohicans. Thanks for the tip. That is right up my alley and probably a real fountain of ageless ideas, settings and situations in a maritime world. I will for sure read them.
