I started reading the first book (and since stopped as I wasn't ready for the detailed nautical terminology), but one thing really jarred me was, in this section of very dry terminology when setting up a ship for sail, the use of the &

I think "lay" might be as literal as we would use it now.

You're not the only one. I have read somewhere that there is a whole separate book that explains the nautical terminology used in the books, which was recommended as a reference to keep by ones side whilst reading the books. I wonder i

I'm slowly collecting this set of novels from various second-hand book shops, and I'm looking forward to reading them in order, most likely some time in retirement. I'm happy not to know anything about the author, reading is

I mean, arguably, there could have been a whole lot fewer Trump voters if not for some of Fauci's advice. Seriously though, this is what they're committing resources to? Also, as far as I've been informed, Dr. Fauci is an int

That definitely seemed to be the case in Australia, but where it's possibly started moving the other way is that a smaller, more conservative (I don't like these political terms, it's not exactly correct but it gets the point

Yeah, if this is the effect that attempted US influence has, then have at it! Having said that, it is frustratingly amusing seeing the US going overt with its extra-territorial electoral interference with their recent history of being incre
