(Sorry for breaking out of the story, guys. Just to say that my rudimentary attempts at putting this on a website have been grasped firmly by DONW who has singlehandledly set up a new improved and up to date website at:
http://www.freewebs.com/laughingswor...ol14page12.htm
Well that's the most recent page. You can navigate around the pages either at sea or in port by what he has brilliantly put together from there. And the idea is to one day put it into a book, maybe when we know what the ending is, or maybe before.
The idea has never been to detract from this fantastic Subsim.com site, so you'll still read it here first. We've just put the actual chapters together as a story on that website.
Save it as a favourite, but only after subsim.com!
