OK, just returned from enjoying Master & Commander. maybe I am easily entertained, I don't see many movies, watching this was very enjoyable. and, vastly superior to slogging through the books - sorry, I can't get in to them! one more nit in the scene with the officers shooting the noon sights with their octants: they are all on starboard, facing outboard ... sun to their backs!!! over-the-shoulder shots with octants, that's a real trick!!
