    Nice bit of light entertainment for these parlous times. Makes a nice change from ships cats Bill.

    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.

    Thank you for sharing that story, Bill. It does leave one question unanswered. Did Guerriere the Terrier treat the masts like trees? :)

    If so, it would bring new meaning to the announcement "I'd like a clean sweep down fore and aft".....
