It really isn't beyonds the bounds of what ordinary people would expect - tide and winds could have sent it in that direction surely? <br /><br />Yes - I enjoy your historical interludes. Have you read the Aubrey/Maturan novels by Patrick O'Brian? All about a British Navy captain set in the late 18th/early 19th century during the Napoleonic Wars. Brilliant and addictive - I've nearly got to the end :-( . All very accurate technical detail - the time scale is a bit fudged to make so many books but that doesn't matter.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684985554953836607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-61348538024751581292011-09-23T12:01:48.394-04:002011-09-23T12:01:48.394-04:00It's interesting and most people don't kno...It's interesting and most people don't know that he was basically a fugative who killed a crew member and then fled to the US just before for the war.ERPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15973334581468131595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-35896273384413855332011-09-23T11:01:58.411-04:002011-09-23T11:01:58.411-04:00As a former "Navy brat" JPJ and the BHR ...As a former "Navy brat" JPJ and the BHR are well-known to me.
