I realize that it is a day later, but I love your nautical posts over the last year. Maybe 2 years or 3, I dunno, but they are so cool. Anyhow, awesome stuff.

A few years ago I read that first book of the series which ‘Master and Commander’ the film was based upon. It was magnificent. It is my intention to read the entire series, God willing.

I do not hail from a Navy family, we are all Army going back about 150 years, and that is just in the USA.

Thank You.
