Will look out for this one, need a bit of fun sometimes.
I can also recommend Rafael Sabatini’s Captain Blood is you not read it, especially if you have seen Errol in the title role, well worth a read

I will try the Sabatini one then Chris.

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.
Chris -- I grew up watching those classic cinematic duels between Basil Rathbone and Errol Flynn -- the spectacular duel between them on the beach in Captain Blood and of course the definitive film duel between them in The Adventures of Robin Hood ("You've come to Nottingham Castle once too often"). Interestingly Rathbone had to take it easy on Flynn in those duel scenes, his having been two time British Army Fencing Champion. My guess is if it had been for real Rathbone would have skewered Flynn fairly quickly.Originally Posted by Capn Duff
