But those ribbons have lots of uses from standing in as emergency twine, to a very efficient, silent and handy weapon!

But this pirate is worth my reading knowledge one day.Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246834295123351186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178779736451277146.post-56042931358294344892018-01-07T08:07:19.149+13:002018-01-07T08:07:19.149+13:00All the above has been noted for a possible future...All the above has been noted for a possible future adventure! :-) I have been toying with the idea of Jesamiah sailing to uncharted waters - of course, in his period (book 5 in the series is 1719) Australia has not been 'discovered' yet... William Dampier and co did sail by, but they didn't realise what they'd found... maybe Jesamiah won't either...Helen Hollickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292983846350273039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178779736451277146.post-41837150690212000082018-01-07T07:55:47.045+13:002018-01-07T07:55:47.045+13:00As you may have guessed, I really, really liked th...As you may have guessed, I really, really liked the Tethys. the image of the taniwha flashed into my head the instant I first read her name.<br /><br />The image I used in the post is actually of two taniwha, Ngake and Whataitai, which is why you see two heads, but the Tethys could easily be multi-headed!<br /><br />Ngake created Wellington Harbor, which was originally a lake, by bursting through a rock barrier into Cook Strait. He is supposed to be still lurking out there, just like the Tethys....<br /><br />And yes, I am sure your readers will be gobbling up the rest of the series.World of the Written Wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695926585496640941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178779736451277146.post-3578968642101470802018-01-07T05:43:21.972+13:002018-01-07T05:43:21.972+13:00Thank you Joan, naturally I'm delighted that y...Thank you Joan, naturally I'm delighted that you enjoyed the read, and hopefully will also enjoy Jesamiah's further adventures - Sea Witch was initially intended as a 'one off' but in typical pirate style, Jesamiah stole my heart, and I found I had to write more about him. I am about to start Voyage six! <br />Helen Hollickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292983846350273039noreply@blogger.com
