Dear Mr. Cornwell,
I think we are of a similar age. I was born in 1944 so am approaching three score years and ten. I remember with some regret that the second one and a half score years and five galloped past a lot faster than the first.
I sail quite a lot, as I believe you do. I have a Finesse 24, iroko on oak, and varnished, so high maintenance. I believe you have a Cornish Pilot.
But that is all by-the-by.
I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying the Warrior series. I do not buy the books, I buy the audio tapes read by Jonathan Keeble. In my opinion, he is very good.
I have just bought Book 4 (I hope you still get royalties; you have to afford the anti-fouling somehow !)
I play the audios in the car, when I commute to the City and when I am sailing; I find it difficult to hold the tiller and read a book at the same time.
I hope you have a great season.
Stay well and thank you for lightening my journeys.
All the best
Andrew Lansdale.
