Whilst by appearances I’m only about one-fifth through Vol. II of Rodgers’ humungous Naval trilogy, if you discount the ‘supplementary material’ (the stuff after my index finger) I’m closer to a third of the way through now.

And look what just hove into port! Vol. I. And I’ve also got his Folio Edition Wooden World to read and enjoy at some point. Getting back into reading is pricing very enjoyable. Or, as I like to jest, re such maritime matter, nautical but nice.
