Patrick O'Brian Mapping Project To accurately map the progress of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin in the novels by Patrick O'Brian.

Mauritius Command is quite complex but www.cannonade.net helps a lot. Really hope they carry on and do Desolation Isl/ Fortune of War / Surgeons Mate - which is really one long book!

Great result and super processing - planning something similar with a few S50 users in our club too.
