Ocean travel best cure for fatigue and nerves
A traveler with twenty nine Atlantic crossings over seven years extols ocean voyages as the ideal remedy for weariness and stress.

It also briefly touches Earl Spencer’s garter knighthood rising to thirty, and outlines two theories about how the Garter King’s order began, one romantic and one prosaic.
