Voyage of the Boadicea from The Mauritius Command complete

The voyage of Commodore Jack Aubrey in command of the HMS Boadicea is mapped. The end of this map marks the completion of The Mauritius Command, which has certainly been the most challenging book to map. Patrick O'Brian's attention and level of detail, drawing from Josias Rowley's Mauritius Campaign in 1810, is a wonder to behold. The complexity of course lines circling Mauritus, Reunion and Rodriguez is evidence of his achievement. As always, I would welcome any comments or suggestions.

Voyage of the Raisonable from The Mauritius Command complete

The voyage of Commodore Jack Aubrey in command of the aging HMS Raisonable is mapped. This map presented considerable and frequent dilemas, but I hope wherever possible I have stayed true to the cannon. For these maps around the islands, I had to rely on a fair amount of guesswork when choosing the course, but hopefully my guesses are at least plausible. As always, I would welcome any comments or suggestions.

Blue at the Mizzen - Patrick O'Brian

The end of my first voyage through the cannon is a melancholy one knowing that this wonderful series was cut short with the author's death.

In the course of mapping the books I have already started my second run through the series. The first of many I think.
