Re: Whatcha reading?

So I was the dramaturg for my school's production of One Flea Spare by Naomi Wallace this past spring (super great play set in 1665 London in a house under quarantine from the plague), and because one of the characters has spent a lot of time as an impressed sailor for the navy, it led me to some bo...

Re: Crews and Ships Met

Re: Handwriting Help and Spelling

Sure thing--looks really fun! In my family, we have a proud tradition of my brother beating us all soundly at monopoly every Thanksgiving, but maybe my luck will be better at sea.

Re: Handwriting Help and Spelling

Wow, thank you all for your help! I never would have come up with Sport the cat on my own... :lol:
And Devil Fish--what a cool name! Between that and Michael's mention of clerics, now I want to create a D&D campaign set on board a whaling ship :D

Re: Handwriting Help and Spelling

Hey all! I was wondering if anyone could help out with an entry I'm having a hard time decoding (its from May first). I can make out "This noon saw [?] fish" but can't tell what kind of fish! I'm also curious about the last sentence: "and PM [?] behind the [?]" https://archive.or...

Re: LibreOffice -- Updates and Questions

So... I have what I fear is a pretty dumb question. I just starting trying to figure out Librecalc yesterday and all was going well until I came across a page that just had events on it.
