Customer Reviews

A good matter-of-fact read!

I will start off with saying I would recommend this book... If you want to know the exacting accounts of traversing the pacific. I do however suggest keeping a dictionary of nautical terms nearby if you are not versed in sailor jargon. It is pretty much a play-by-play account of what happened to the author while on the journey. It does contain some great literary qualities in explaining the author's contentment and stife of the experience. I enjoyed it.
