The Atlantic has been called a 'pond' for a long time- In 1641, a voyeger wrote of "taking flight across the great pond." OED

Tyke - there are several catters who regularly get across the pond - Tradsinger was over only last week , and I am off the week after next . My first trip was for The Getaway in 2005 , and having announced in here that I was heading over , I had a lot of offers of overnight stopovers . Hopefully there wil be a good response to your query , and you can get over and have a look round .

I've just noticed that after posting a couple of Videos on You Tube one of them has resulted in an invite to cross the pond for a session in the USA. Well after pondering (excuse the Pun) this invite I have decided that having little or no knowledge of touring in the states I need some advice on the subject and a few trusted people to contact.

The easy way would be a solo tour however if I could get a decent tour organized then I would prefer to do a tour with The Foretop Men Shanty Crew. So has anyone out their got any good advice or contacts they could PM me with. The Tour should it happen would have to fit in with my contracts and obligations in the UK.

This is the You Tube video that I posted. It features the Julia Af Farboug and the Grand Turk of Hornblower Series Fame that I have had a lot of Fun on over the last few years pretending to be a proper sailor boy. Here's the Video that has caused all the fuss Valorporiso.
