Just got back from a month of sailing, and then finger surgery, so I'm trying to play catchup... and what better place to start but a good storm? (We weathered 2 gales in one week!)

And ever so nice and nautically! It would seem that the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree: Tom has inherited his father's malady of good intentions (well, perhaps a bit misguided but well-intended at heart) going unappreciated. Maybe Jack knows that the most torturous aspect of being disciplined is the waiting. Poor Tom!

Good stuff!!
