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.
