    Chapter 23

    He has a fantastic estate, but much to do for his people there and I am sure he will do all he can for them. Travers posted and to a frigate he already knows and loves. Now what will George get after all this, it must be pretty special to. Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 22

    That makes 4 1/2 times he has given his speech so far (I count Fox as only a 1/2). He did his pitch for his French friends and it sounds promising. I like the way he was so casually able to win $10,000 pounds and not make much of it. The best news of all was Travers being told to come back to hear about what ship they were to give him (hopefully a frigate which would mean posting him). A great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 21

    Back and in one piece. Only seen two people and already spun his tale twice, no doubt but the first of many more such sessions to come. Home just in time for the birth and finding all is well with the family. What next is in store for our young aristocrat? What a great story, thank you.

    Chapter 20

    People problems taken care of. Now we find out the ship is not so good in heavy seas, at least it is not a boring voyage. Now we get to see Georges' good side again, taking on a boy as his ward. Not twenty yet and responsible for not one, but soon to be two children. A great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 19

    Captain of 120 gun ship, responsible for a fleet, now that is an eye opener and career enhancer. After this anything else they can give him should be a snap, that is if all goes well. Now another midshipman in need of some healing, did George miss his calling? Were there psychiatrists back then? Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 18

    I know we are following history, but this turn in events is sad none the less. Then to loose Shafte at this point was a real gut wrench, after all he had gone through, may he rest in peace. What is in store for George now? A bit of a downer but still a great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 17

    Not an exciting chapter, but informative. Back to sea and with Travers (lucky yet again). More adventure due if I was to hazard a guess. Good chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 16

    Oh well, it couldn't last forever. It's good to see that his trust (the money helped) in the men was justified. Getting lucky again to have Nelson show up for his ride back. Yes, back to being humble Flag Lt. Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 15

    In command and his first prize as a captain. With a bonus of 987 gold coins as an extra. Now that is how you define success and the adventure continues. Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 14

    George fraught his first action as a captain and acquitted himself quite well. He is loosing his command, but getting a chance to sail her back for a refit. Knowing Mark, something will happen along the way (I hope). Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 13

    A command, granted a temporary one,but still, a frigate and a crew of fifty men and a bonus cook. When things go right for George, they seem to in a big way. What next? Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 12

    Quite the compliment to George to be put in charge of selecting and preparing the ships to be returned. Then his caring enough to brave possible captivity in order to secure a pass for Carmody, tells a lot of his character and sense of right and wrong. Great chapter, thank you.
  13. The thought of separating if he joined the army was agonizing. The idea of Matthew being able to join in light of what Artie had said and the thought of him (Matthew) being killed was even more heart breaking, what to do, what to do? Beam me up if those boxy aeroplanes don't sound a lot like space shuttles. Yet another great chapter, thank you.
  14. Ricky, I agree with you about Kingsdale. I still hold out hope that Mark will keep him around. He is supposed to get together with Caroline on how to manage an estate and the Earl did seem to like him. Let us think positive thoughts and hope for the best and for the bagpipes. I also agree that the series wouldn't be the same without having Winkler there scurrying and fussing about in the back ground. Note: Okay, boys and girls, we have made it back to tied for 6th place, let us try for sole 6th, 5th should be easy and even 4th a possibility. You just have to have faith (and reviews), come on just one (a few) more for the Gipper.

    Chapter 11

    A definite lesson to all. Now if only George could control his own short comings. Then again that would probably kill the series. So the heck with it, carry on George (err..Mark). Good chapter, thank you.
  16. sandrewn

    Chapter 65

    Winkler finally has someone he call his own, now how will George set it up to keep them together. Calvert has become the captian I always thought he could be, even standing up to Lord St Vincent. George will be so proud. Mark I think you will some how get George to meet up with Eastwyck somewhere in France (in Gay Paree?), just so that none his crew will be left behind. I wonder if those of Georges' crew who want to could go to the abbey until (I'm hoping) he was to get another ship. Some of them have been with him since the beginning. This was really a great chapter, thank you ever so much. Oh and I hope the bagpipes were saved.

    Chapter 10

    Two courts martial so far in his career, a pivotal role in each case and now he has Shafte. Granger always seems to get his man (in the end). Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 9

    I had forgotten about Iggy tucked away ont the Italian coast. George seems able to find love (lust) on land or sea, where ever he goes. I don't suppose becoming a daddy will slow him down any. I still like our hero inspite of his slutty ways. Good chapter, thank you.
  19. sandrewn

    Chapter 8

    It seems like a small navy, first Bell and now Blackwell who knows ( ? ) Arthur. Has George found a new hero to worship (Nelson)? Great chapter, thank you.
  20. sandrewn

    Chapter 7

    115 ships of the line and who knows how many frigattes and sloops, yet here is Robie in the same cabin with him. This is definite Ripleys' believe it or not momment. Even though he is with flag, I just know that George will some how get into the action(s) to come. Great chapter, thank you.
  21. sandrewn

    Chapter 6

    A midshipman, now a commander, he is working up and through the Wilcoxs. I didn't count the embarrassed captian at his board. To Georges' continued success, hip hip hooray. Great chapter, thank you.
  22. sandrewn

    Chapter 5

    Just settling in and now off, out of the blue into another adventure (a Wilcox again). I like the way you keep the excitement levels at their peaks, keeps me on my toes. Great chapter, thank you.
  23. sandrewn

    Chapter 4

    A little action above decks and a little (or not so little) below, I think you struck a nice balance. great chapter, thank you.
  24. sandrewn

    Chapter 3

    Georges' life is like a rollercoaster. Down to the bottom with yet another Wilcox. Then cresting at the top in the arms Travers. Just like in real life. What a great job of a chapter, thank you.
  25. sandrewn

    Chapter 2

    Now that is what I call a whirl wind courtship, slam, bam and thank you mam. Those Wilcoxs' still out to get him (close call). Off to a new assignment and the adventure continues. Great chapter, thank you.
