Chapter Two: ‘I Am Nailed To The Hull’.
“It having been determined by my benefactor that a term of service at sea would make a man, I accordingly left Pinckley Hall in the company of Captain Ned, and put out from Bristol aboard his ship The Raging Queen.
Captain Ned, I learned from my shipmates, was a very manly, virile, manful person, and a firm believer in strict discipline, corporal punishment, and nude apartment wrestling. How truly strict he was, I learned on our first day out of port, when out First Mate called all hands on deck for an important annoucement.”

Stats by Google Analytics. Click pic for bigger.
Twenty two days ago I turned on Google Analytics to help me understand how many vistitors I was getting to the site. This cute graph is NOT part of their basic service — I made it myself. It is the ‘normalized’ number of visits by country, i.e. the total number of visits in the period divided by the country’s population divided by the number of days in the sample. Some smaller countrys come out pretty high, especially coastal or island ones.
If you are a regular reader from French Polynesia, Fiji, NZ (Joao?), Finland (I used to go there all the time in business, great place), Monaco, Gibraltar, BVIs, or Netherlands Antilles (the winner!), I’d love to hear from you in the Comments section, tell us about yourselves!
In related news, I have done almost 400 posts in about 4 months of operation. Thanks for visiting, tell your friends, add a link, and feel free to comment the posts.
For fun, I checked the “Authority” of all the blogs on my blogroll at Technorati. Not too surprisingly, AttuWorld won. For some reason the very popular Mr. Boat had no authority score. “the horses mouth” looks like it lost some ground a while back when the URL was changed. Thanks for reading, and thanks for linking!
