You are most certainly a welcome new voice. There are quite a number of members with a big interest in matters naval. I'm not one of them, but you're sure to find some kindred spirits.
Hope you got through all those tornadoes that swept through the area.

Capt Coxetter,
Glad to see you in the group, have book marked your yahoo group, and thinking about joining, while in the meantime you might tell your group about this 'interesting' list of people.
{I just finished reading The Confederate Privateers, by William Morrison Robinson}
How was the book.
Wondering if you had discovered the series of novels by Robert N. Macomber, a award winning maritime history writer and lecturer and regular guest author aboard the Queen Mary 2. His website is Http://www.robertmacomber.com
I have the 1st 4, with 2 autographed.

The Robinson book is terrific; and unabashedly pro-Confederate!
I certainly hope that you will come aboard our group, Mobile! We are both an information-sharing and a role-playing crew; we discuss anything and everything related to CW nautical topics, but we also adopt the role of a crew member of the Jefferson Davis privateering vessel, and create an on-line diary.
Of course, since the historical vessel had an (albeit very successful) short career of only seven weeks duration, the diarying thing doesn't last long, since we try to match the dates of the historical cruise, to the current calendar.
Welcome aboard Capt Coxetter! I know you will enjoy your stay here.

Mobile, I haven't read the Macomber works, but they do look interesting.
Admiral Porter, I owe you a response, and will be getting back with you shortly.
(This is the problem with being involved with too many things! I'm now hit with the terrifying thought that we have but six weeks to go before the Battle of New Orleans (1815) event, and we're still trying to gather our folks together and start practicing.
