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.
I am pleased to announce the award of the medal for recruitment to Captain Duff, for his successful efforts at Expo over the last two years.
Congratulations Chris.

It is a privilege to be in such great company as you all, dear fellow Officers. Thanks for the recognitions
As I am reaching the end of my tenure as Admiral of the Fleet, I have used my discretion to award a few medals to those Captains and Members of the Admiralty Board who have assisted me throughout the whole period, and to whom I am gratefully indebted.
The following Medals Have been awarded:-
The Royal Hajj. The Site Recognition Award.
A prestigious medal awarded to members that go above and beyond the call of duty.
Diamond Back, Captain Duff,and Dobbs. The Service Medal.
Awarded to a select few for their dedication of time and knowledge to helping to keep the Sails of Glory Anchorage website a reality.
Congratulations to those officers and thank you for your unstinting service at the Anchorage.
Wm. Bligh. Admiral of the Fleet.

Thank you, Admiral, for these medals. I am getting quite a collection, even though they will probably disappear soon.
No more than you are entitled to for all your commitment to the Anchorage over the years Dobbs.
I am not sure why that presentation of the Medals has changed. I checked the admin section and nothing seems to have changed there.

And just in the nick of time before the Anchorage closes a gong for young Vagabond, who has now posted 500 posts and has more than a year's service under his belt.
Congratulations and, well done sir.

Blimey that was a near run thing.
Well lads the Rums on me, I'll settle the bar bill in November if it's ok with you all.
Cheers

Bonjour mon Admiral you may have a glass of brandy and indeed if Martine still has any of the 98 left I will pour the tot myself. It will only be a small tot mind you, because the 98 is a precious liquid and wasted on you Roste Bif's.Said just like a true Frenchman Jon!

That is Capitaine Jean le Vagabond to you, young Cochrane and as I haven't finished my tales of deering do, I'm sure I'll be an Admiral before I'm through.
But thanks for the congratulations anyway.
What I want to know is, although you bear a distinct likeness to a known pirate called Pugwash, given you are probably an ancestor of a young flying officer (yet to greet the world of course), mon "Capitaine Jean le Vagabond to you", do you wear body armour on board your sailing vessel? Is that perhaps where your descendant will get the idea one day?It makes swimming rather difficult.
May you make Admiral in double quick time.
I'm compiling a registry so the records can be transferred to our new home port... IF it gets built.
A respectable Admiral awarding medals to a PIRATE? Oh, the heresy... :P

Well young Cochrane, the idea that my crew would ever countenance the plank is preposterous, and my enemies would never be able to catch me, so there would be no worry on that score. The idea that Jean le Vagabond needs armour is also utterly preposterous, it is only the Roste Bifs that might consider such a cowardly necessity.What I want to know is, although you bear a distinct likeness to a known pirate called Pugwash, given you are probably an ancestor of a young flying officer (yet to greet the world of course), mon "Capitaine Jean le Vagabond to you", do you wear body armour on board your sailing vessel?

However as I sit in Martine's bar on these cold winters evenings, explaining the finer points of naval strategy to Hermione and explaining how the cost of the 98 vintage is well worth it to her father Baptiste I wonder how my descendant's will fare. For I am a sailor through and through, my only mistress was the sea, but there was a wife in so many ports, it would be difficult to believe that some offspring of my loins wasn't an Englishman by location but would still have the blood of a true Frenchman in his veins.
If the flying officer you refer to is gallant and bold as well as full of le merde then he could well be of my blood line. All I can say is "he's a lucky fellow."
I was, of course, referrin to myself. :)Try pot and Kettle DB.
