Hello Florida Sailor

I'm sub-editing your article, the recommended page is A87789983, please remember to subscribe to it as that's where comments will be made when the entry goes live

During subbing I will pop back if I have any questions/queries, and when I've finished subbing I will ask you to OK it before I return it for a final polish

Have a lovely day!

Hi again Florida Sailor

I've finished my sub-editing now. I thought your conclusion was a bit over-heavy so I've moved two of the paragraphs earlier in the text. Therefore I'd like you to give your article a thorough read-through and approve it before I return it to the Eds. If there's anything amiss or you want it back the way it was, let me know



GB

Looks good!

I agree the moving of those two paragraphs makes it read better

Thanks

F S

You're welcome

Sent it back to the Eds for final polish now. See you on the Front Page!

PS I forgot to mention that I saw that documentary with Paul Merton becoming an Ambassador of the Conch Republic

Hello...
It's me again...I pop up every where, don't cha know!

How are you??

We are still looking for a suitable photo for your entry....you suggested a broken loaf of bread over a conch shell??

Good idea

Any chance that you could organise it yourself and take the picture??

More ?

We're rather short staffed here at the moment??

pretty please??

more

any contribution would be most welcome.....

thanking you with hopeful anticipation

Hi Rosie

I'm not trying to avoid you

I think I might be able to put such a thing together, but I don't have the material at hand.
As I told Bluebottle in another thread I spend most of my time drawing, but it is not, at all, like the type of drawings needed here.

I looked at a few possibilities, and I found a few photos on the Library of Congress site, but they were all vague about copyright status

I will keep looking and thinking. If I can find a conch shell, I'll go for the photo. At the moment the only possible source I can think of is quite a bit out of the way


F S

Please check the Artist Email account, I sent you the best I could come up with

I think I spent more time on a picture than I did writing the Entry

F < dolphin > S

Thank you sooooooo much...the photo is great

and sorry it took so much of your time to take the shot for us...they do take time don't they?

Much appreciated tho'

Rosie

Thanks from me too FS

We'll try and get this Approved as soon as possible.

Thanks Rosie

It was probably my fault, the place that sold shells for crafts has gone out of business , and I refused to drive out to the beaches and pay tourist prices.

I then decided to try to use a nautical chart, but after going to half a dozen places where I have purchased them many times in the past I learned that no one carries them any more.

I finally realized that a road map would probably work fine, just not as sparkly as I wanted.

The bread was no problem at all, just picked it up at the local supermarket.

I have always appreciated the time and efforts of our Thanks for all you do!
