NOTICE: We have changed our border design to emphasize our mission as a book reviewer/finding aid/andvendor. We will utilize our favorite "Cover Girl", the ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLT III for a bit longer period than we usually maintain a particular sailing vessel since it is so well recognized among our regular visitors. We don't want our regulars to think they clicked on the wrong site. Despite our frequent use of the image we'd like to again assert that it is not a trade mark or copy right of this blog. The image is in the public domain and the ship, like her name sake truly belongs to history. Your clicking on our advertisers (top right hand corner opposite some posts and at the bottom between posts) helps keep us free of fees, membership charges, pop ups and other annoying forms of advertising. Your occasional purchase of books, videos, or water sports and fishing clothing and equipment through our Amazon portal (by clicking on the links provided with book, video, and merchandise descriptions) keeps us a lean, green knowledge machine always free to visit or use.
