Hello C James, I've just discovered Circumnavigation, as Chapter 55 was posted, and I've been reading 1 through 55 like crazy. What an amazing story, I have been really gripped by it. I'm so impressed by your storylines, your grip of nautical stuff and the places the characters visit. I've so much enjoyed the story so far that I just have to say "Many thanks for all your work". All the best, Andy.

I'd just like to let you know how very much I am enjoying your story The Gunroom. I came across HMS Belvedera by accident and started on that but then realised that I should have started with The Gunroom which I am reading now, avidly. I would like to make a comment regarding the Royal Toast. It is a Royal Naval tradition that this is drunk while remaining seated. This URL will help to explain why: http://www.royalnavalmuseum.org/info_sheet_loyal_toast.htm I have not read far enough ahead to discover any details of how you cover navigation in the Eighteenth century but it is something which fascinates me and about which I have some knowledge. Maybe you have read the book 'Longitude' which I found very interesting and informative. I have to sign off now - so that I can read more of your amazing stories. Andy.
