The stillness isn’t empty
It’s full of everything you’ve carried
A place where grief and joy
are now quiet companions…

Moody & Narrative (Best for storytelling)
The ocean keeps its secrets, but this hull has a story to tell. Stumbled across this stranded vessel on the Queensland coast just as the skies turned angry. A haunting reminder of the power of the sea. ⛈️⛵️ #Queensland #Shipwreck #StormSeason #Photography

Colin Baxter has produced another superb picture for the cover of my latest Clay novel.

It shows a scene from the book when two 74s attack a Turkish shore battery.

Clay and the Sublime Porte – coming soon

Some may argue that competitive sailing is yet another area where the IS are losing ground in terms of soft power. Excellent article. www.sail-world.com/news/293190/...
Crunch time arrives for SailGP and the America's Cup
Outside the Cup teams and Italian politicians, interest in the America's Cup appears to be fading fast, and SailGP is foiling into the vacated media space.

The SailGP is such a cool Regatta format! Looking forward to the next one! #SailGP

My take: The Swedes deserved the points... Frenchies are good but somewhat inconsistent. Aussies need to work their start line up....

The UK, Canada and Australia are considering banning X.

And yet, the progressive movement and Democratic Party still haven’t figured out how to boycott it.
