I am not Oakley and have also discovered that I can reply as him. I have heard the Notes in the Stones and it is a strange, wistful collection of music.

I have met the one that calls himself Skipjack and once shared a chappatti, made by Oakley, with him at a sevice station in Lincolnshire. He told me that a rule of the sea is that each boat has to spend 28 hours every year sitting on mud and that the several hours we spent in this state were in order to fulfil a statutory requirement. He has told me other things.
