Hi Garmt,

A good point! But even though he gave up sailing, Verne did leave Amiens
fairly often in the 1890s - for instance to Petites Dalles in 1890 and 1899,
to Dinard, Le Havre, Caen and St Malo in 1893 and to Paris in 1898.

Hi Ian,

You really are a scientist in the Vernian tradition: get out there in the
field, and explore! Excellent work, and I enjoy reading your reports on
your Maltese trip.

It seems Verne took some time to show his gratitude. By the time "Face au
drapeau" was published, the Saint-Michel had long been sold to Nicolas I,
and Verne hadn't left Amiens for years...

Cheers,
Garmt.
