Indeed, most excellent — cheers Dylan.
This “old bloke” is not just any old bloke, as the rest of us :-)
May I recommend some of his early works. From when we were just “blokes”:

Ideal for rainy Sundays :-)
While I deeply-admire those who do, I never felt the allure of crossing vast, blank oceans. I’m more with Dylan in preferring the near-coastal waters and the estuaries with their constantly and subtly changing landscapes. [seascapes?] The novelty, the sense of progress, the revelation of new vistas, the wonder of discovery.
Being far out at sea beyond even the barest-hint of land beyond the horizon, oddly I feel a bit claustrophobic.
