Yachts – The Graphics Fairy
The sea is in my blood from generations of sailors on my father’s side, including Admiral Edward Vernon, as in the Battle of Portobello (or Porto Bello), Panama, in 1739. The Admiral’s nickname, ‘Old Grog’, was coined because of the coat of ‘grogram’ that he wore, and ‘grog’ then came to mean the watered-down rum he instigated; this was not to stop his sailors getting drunk but to keep the water as fresh as it could be. He also introduced lemon or lime juice to stave off scurvy. Vernon’s crew were known to be much healthier than others though the link between vitamin C and good health was not proved until later. The practice was later adopted throughout the Royal Navy.

How lovely – thank you very much!
Chosen for Indifference / Tone / Composition / and Texture.
How lovely! Thank you so much, Larry. I’m confused, however, by the reference to ‘indifference’ – perhaps you would be kind enough to explain?
By using the word Indifference, I meant it to mean something that is totally different to the bulk of repetitive images that I have to choose from. It is different and worth a prize……

Thank you for making it clear. That’s such a lovely compliment – bless you.
Lovely work!
Thank you!
