This is a reminder that our caption competition for the image above will end tonight at 2400 (12 p.m.) U.S. eastern time. It seems the dogs image has woken up a lot of readers’ imagination and most of the suggestions you will find in the Comment section below. A few have been sent to me via e-mail.
The winner will receive a signed copy of A Yank at Cambridge by yours truly and A Sea To Row By by HTBS’s own rowing poet, Philip W. Kuepper. Philip’s book will soon be published – although, already now you will be able to read about it and order it from Amazon, in the USA and the UK.
Read more about the competition here.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank all HTBS contributors and readers who keep us going and wish you all a
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The crew kept pulling with dogged determination, encouraged by their cox barking orders at them.
