Home Cap'n Lowy's Log
(or the old git's 'philosophical surfboard')
As Fiona seems to have collared the actual log writing duties, I have decided to publish some deeply held views that i have had time to ruminate on these past weeks since we sailed.. You will notice the non-nautical nature of most of these.
Some of you will recognise the format.
I hope that you can contribute to the lists. Drop me an email to join the debate.
