Congratulations on finally wading through this plethora of words. I'm delighted to meet a reader.
I'm glad you like the historical detail in this story. I've sailed a little but only on a very tiny boat. Most of the information comes from reading first-person accounts of sailing square-riggers. I love doing that kind of research and I'm glad it is interesting and useful to you.
As for this roller-coaster ride the story seems to be on, I blame the muse. Every time I think I've solved all the problems, my brain presents me with another and Whoops! there it goes again. I'm glad the humour is making the anxiety bearable.
Yay! Jip has another fan! I do feel all warm and fuzzy when people love my little OC. He is a favourite of mine. He's pretty much hijacked my story.
I'm also glad that you like what I've done with the canon characters. They're such fun to write. And I'm thrilled that you like Norrington here. He's the antagonist in this story but I try to keep him from being a villain. I'm not a fan of villains.
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment. I do appreciate you taking the time.
