Obviously Falconera island exists, but I had to laugh when I heard the name because it sounded like the author Falconer made it up :lol:

Section 9 ready for PL.

Passing storms.

Good to be back. :)

I looked up Falconera Island. It's in the Venice Lagoon. There's a resort there, but not as developed as I imagine much of the area around Venice to be. Looks like it would be a great place to spend some time.

A little break in the action for some philosophizing. I hope I didn't butcher Mæonides too badly.

They manage to jettison the mizzen mast and avoid running aground on Falconera.

I read that Mæonides is another name for Homer - learn something new every day. So does the suffix ides mean son of in Greek?

Yes, something like that, "descendants of", or even "related/belonging to" in some uses.
