    I am sure that is a story worth the telling John.
    Have you been following Dobb's voyage?
    Rob.
    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Your adventure sounds much bigger than mine, John! I would love to sail those places someday.

    I agree with your assessment of large crafts. I also feel that sea-capable small sailboats are a cut above small crafts.

    "sea-capable small sailboats are a cut above all crafts" I think this is what you meant to say

    You're absolutely right, John! It must have gotten tweaked by the spell checker...
