I think I could have figured that one out. Just looking at it, "plummys" immediately struck me as similar to "plumb" or "plumb bob" which of course, is a weight on the end of a line.
And, I looked at "viij," which looks Dutch and thought perhaps it was pronounced "vay". That rhymes with eigh-t. And then "to take up," well, that's obvious. Maybe there was no word for "wind" back then.
But I did get the general idea of the sentence! Not bad for a Yank, don't you think?
Got any more? Do you collect clocks? I collect Roman coins and arifacts that I can afford, and all kinds of other things.
Made a call to the Bone Marrow and Transplant Clinic where I had my biopsy done. Got an answering machine. Why does that not surprise me?
They'll probably call in about another 5 hours like last time. As I write, it is almost 11:30 AM. (biting fingernails)Shipwreck
