I ran across this book. So for the last couple hr.s I've been reading
it. * It's really interesting concerning life at sea, it's trechors

an explorer, but as the Captain General of the fleet.

I hope this link works,

I think if you liked Master Commander, you'd like this. *It's pretty
intriguing.

I have it - it's not bad.

If you liked this, you'd love Nicholas Monsarrat's "Master Mariner".

Not "Master Marniner - Running Proud". *That was written after his
death and it sucks.

I wont' give the plot away, but it's a hell of a read.

I'll look for it, Tom.

Thanks!
