i have no idea why he has a cat onboard. he is a former trainer of the Swiss rowing national team by the name of Melchior Bürgin.

"Lulworth, the largest guff cutter afloat"
Did this guff-gaffe refer to a gaff-rigged cutter?
Or a gift-wrapped copper?

So many posts; so little time! I'm having trouble keeping up this week Hanan! Great pics in one of the posts...tempting to try to weave them all into a rather dream-like story.
The report of the ghost ship is really sad. How cruel we (globally) we seem to continue to be to each other. Those poor men.

The man with his dog reminded me of a client whose husband was a sailor. He always sailed with his dog who loved to drink beer. The dog would also take his daily ration of dog bones and stash one away for a rainy day.
re 101 greatest sea books---I can highly recommend "Adrift", the story of a man who survived the longest at sea adrift in a raft, alone.
