Wow what a dream job. Ive been obsessed with tall ships since reading the Horatio Hornblower novels as a youth. After the passing of the Age of Sail a certain aesthetic and beauty left sea borne commerce that may never be captured again. Although I have heard of solar sails being affixed to modern cargo ships.

Marlinspiker,

Have you read Patrick O'Brian? Forrester/Hornblower is good writing and reading. POB is wayyyyyyy better

A glass of wine with you, sir!
