All fine on the larboard bow now Mike. I can see your pictures.
Do not worry about the fact that you are novice sailors. That can happen to any squadron that sails too close to the ship in front. I have mentioned somewhere else in this august broadsheet the story of how I at the rear of the line managed to fall foul of two of the ships ahead when the foremost collided with the French cutting the T. Then once un-entangled, it only took one broadside from a French SOL to send me to Davy Jones' locker.
