A very early heads up... Dr. Jonathan Wooding, Senior Lecturer in Early and Medieval Christianity at Lampeter (University of Wales) has a new book coming out later this year (April) called... Saints and Seafarers: Perigrinatio and the Ocean Desert in the Celtic Lands... which you can pre-order from Amazon... and here it is on my Wish List ;-) It apparently explores...
the role of the sea in the religious consciousness of the Celtic churches in the early middle ages... [and] uses historical, archaeological and hagiographical material to examine both the phenomenon of the ocean voyage and the geographical and religious perspectives it provides on the development of the insular church.

Sounds really interesting Mark. Pity the hardcover edition is so expensive. Thanks also for the report below. It's encouraging to follow your journey.
Hoping that you and those who share your life have a joyous and peaceful Christmas.
