    Hmm, that sounds awful. Say, just out of curiosity, can you hand, reef, and steer?

    Welcome aboard the world of wooden ships and iron men Iain.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
