A Couple of Articles
I got the heads-up this morning in my mailbox. Shock Therapy – Could the next Pope learn from Benedict? I find this article of little interest, as I have found many analogies of little help. I think of the Ordinariate … Continue reading
Mainsheet length
Another search term came in – mainsheet length, mirror dinghy centre main. There are two ways of setting up a main sheet in a dinghy. Most modern boats have a central mainsheet: This arrangement requires four pulleys because one loses … Continue reading

Sede Vacante 2005
Just a few days shy of the coming sede vacante in Rome, I am brought to think of something I wrote back in 2005, when I had not yet joined the TAC and was living in the Vendée part of … Continue reading
The New Continuing Anglican Churchman
In the past, I have followed The Continuing Anglican Churchman of Fr Gordon Anderson of the Anglican Province of America, and I have occasionally corresponded with this fine priest who is also an artist. He has recently begun a new … Continue reading
