Keeping with the maritime theme, there is a famous opening line of a novel that goes, “Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board.”
I think of that line as I take in the latest shipping news, From the New York Post,
US says two American merchant ships pass through Strait of Hormuz.
US sinks 6 small Iranian boats as Trump warns regime could be ‘blown off the face of the Earth’
Earlier in the day,
