That's a shame. Amazon.com's database keeps trying to get me to read that one so it's nice to have a review. By the way, if you *really* want to get your review out to the reading public, you can go to amazon.com and review any book, whether you liked it or not. A couple of books list readers might enjoy: "Falcon on the Baltic" --it's out of copyright and available online. Not much blue water sailing in it but plenty of good nautical stories. Rather similar to Jack London's Snark tale. Light stuff and a pleasure to read... "mostly harmless". "Tall Ships Down" by Dan Parrot. The stories of the sinkings of four tall ships in the last half of the 20th century. Well-written, well-researched, and fascinating. -FER 42.0N 87.7W, or 41.4N 72.1W. www.HistoricalAtlas.com/lunars
