Hello Ab,

When I left my desk a while ago to enjoy lunch away from my computer, I printed the leading paragraphs of this thread to read. I also took with me a copy of the magazine: National Geographic.

It was a delight to read about your maritime archeology dating back to the 1970s, and your current attempt to extract long forgotten ships from the fog of the early 17th century (pre- history in your words). Your writing brings back to life many of the elements that changed the history of the Spanish Netherlands. So I shall certainly join you on your “unsure path”, and take in some of the inspiration and discovery your work has to offer.

After that . . . . . . . . I read the copy of National Geographic that I had taken with me.

Yours was better.

Mike
