The Sea Just Got Bigger

While giving my wife a hand, I stumbled on the rest of the roll of blue corduroy fabric. She said she had no more use for it and I could have it. It wasn't quite as wide as my table but with the hills in the background, I decided to put the old piece on the inshore and laid the bigger piece overlapping it, like a breaker rolling in from the sea to the shore.

(Mind you, from a few feet away the overlap isn't very noticeable, not like the back drop. It seems all my naval actions will have to happen near to land.)  

Chasing Pirates!
(Apparently the RN is a little short of sloops, let alone brigs, but you gotta use what you can get!

Right, time to clear the table again and prepare an ambush. But what century and what setting?

  2. Great find. Reminds me of the old joke about the two ladies seeing the Pacific Ocean for the first time...
    One turns to the other and says "It's not as big as I thought it would be"
