Welcome aboard everyone! I’m part of a nautical blog hop this week … and I promise to offer you more than just mere ship’s biscuit and stale water on this voyage…

‘The nef’s sail seemed to define my very existence – a small expanse of canvas patched and re-patched so that it could continue on. It seemed I’d been on the sea for months and I despaired ever being able to place toes on land.’ Gisborne: Book of Knights.
I’m shortly to take part in a nautical adventure – a journey through time on ships that will make your eyes boggle. You can join me as well if you like, as this takes place:
During this voyage you can sail on 12th century nefs, 16th century war galleys, on whaling vessels and smugglers’ cutters. You can even learn what its like to be a woman aboard tall ships of the times and find out how they survived.
At the marina the other day, in the little coastal village of Triabunna, looked up and saw rigging that seemed so anachronistic.
Being drawn to all things medieval, had to blink twice thinking mind was slipping as I write Gisborne: Book of Knights.
