I thought I would do a follow-up on this thread. After Jeff published Tip#55, there was a good discussion conducted elsewhere about, among other things, authentic language and target audience.
It made me think long and hard about writing, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm not ready to handle the complexity of a sailing story in CFS. I simply haven't got the skills and experience for such a project. I'm sure I'd need to have a few other novels in print before I could tackle that one.
To those of you who contributed to this thread, and helped me reach a conclusion about this, a big 'thank you'. It was very kind of you to take the time and post here, and I do appreciate it.
Good writing to all of you.
Teskas

Getting back to the astronauts, I like the idea. It is refreshing, and somewhat original. However, you must have a plot crux, which I have not seen yet. Maybe you are just keeping it secret. The big question is, what is the reason these astronauts were forced against their will to go back in time some hundred and fifty years, to a specific place? What were they sent to do? Do they know? Will they find out? Will they be able to do it?
