Stone with rope attached used as an anchor. The Killick Knot which is
what
tipped me off is the one developed to attach said rope to said stone to
make
up the ground tackle.

Define: Killick [1 pt.]

In the Royal Navy, a Killick is an older word for a small stern anchor, now
used for any Leading Hand because of the fouled anchor badge worn on the
sleeve.

occupied.

Good choice in reading material Katy.

Some of them are ok, but they do get pretty sloggy after a while...I'm much
more interested in the Maturin character than the Aubrey character....I find
Aubrey to be a bit of a Peter Pan type and would not admire him in real
life, but find the Maturin character to be very interesting....
