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.
Congratulations on your medal Jason!

The good news is that takes him out of the running so you chaps have a better chance next month.
He can now only go for top yearly thread starter.

The award was based on the same formula which is used to acertain who is to go to Origins. We drew up a shortlist of the five highest scoring candidates and then the Admiralty Board made its selection. It is also unusual in that this will be the first time the Trophy has left these shores as all those candidates shortlisted were from other lands across the seas.
It, therefore, gives me great pleasure to announce that the winner of this year's Admiral's Trophy is;-
First Lieutenant Dobbs Fryberger.
Congratulations Lieutenant, you will have your name inscribed on the Trophy which will be wending its way to your home just as quickly as a Packet ship can wing its way to the Chesapeake.
Your servant,
Wm. Bligh, Admiral of the Blue, and Secretary to the Board of Admiralty.

Congrats to Dobbs, a deserved award
Congratulations, very well earned
Many Congratulations, Dobbs, on winning the Admiral's Trophy!
Wow Dobbs that's awesome! Congratulations!

Wow! I'm so honored! Suzanne and I have been out sailing the Chesapeake Bay, and favoring places with no cell signal. We just anchored near a cell tower for the first time in days and I saw this.
I shall treasure it. You guys are awesome!
Good to hear from you two intrepid sailors. I am glad you you like your so richly deserved award Dobbs. All I now need to do is get to an Engravers which I can find still actually working and get the plate done for the trophy. Please PM me with the delivery address to which you would like it sent.
Once a gain congratulations sir.
