A few minutes ago, I finished Blue at the Mizzen, the 20th and last finished of the series. What a lot of reading pleasure through these years! But I don't intend to read the unfinished 21st novel. The 20th ends well as a conclusion to the series, with Jack getting his much-desired promotion.

I recall saying, way back in the earlier days of this thread that you would probably catch me up and overtake me. Well it would seem you managed it by a head! Blue at the Mizzen is my next one to read some time in the next few months, and, like you, I'll probably not read the unfinished one.

Actually, having just finished my current book, I find it is the very next one up!
