    Default Hello From Virginia

    Ahoy, my name is Daniel, I've been on the WoG forum for a while, (under username FuturePilot) I've gotten interested in Sails, haven't made the plunge yet though. Not much water around me since I live out in the middle of nowhere, but nearest body of water is the Appomatox river which is little more than a creek.
    Hope to get into sails soon though
    -Daniel

    Welcome to the Anchorage, Daniel, from here in the United Kingdom. This site works almost exactly like the Aerodrome, so feel free to explore it and ask questions.

    Good to have you alongside Daniel. I hope you enjoy Sails as much as you do Wings. You should find the game much less frenetic than Wings. It is more akin to the speed of sailing ships as far as action is concerned, the gentle approach, the manoeuvring for advantage and then the real fireworks begin.
    May you always sail with a fair wind and a willing enemy.

    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 all for your kind welcome! I hope to start a navy soon, I was first interested in sails when my grandmother took me to see the US Constellation in Baltimore when I was a young lad, well I'm still a young lad anyways, but....
    I'll be taking a look around
    Cheers

    Mrs Bligh and I also love Virginia Daniel. Some years ago we came over to see the Hermione dock at Youktown, ans spent some time discovering the beautiful State in which you live. One day we will get back and visit Richmond and go to see Cold Harbor where an ancestor of mine died fighting for the Union Army.
