Hate to give 4 stars

I am so happy to have discovered the author, Harry Collingwood. All of his books that I've listened to here have kept my attention and have been very entertaining. Four stars rather than five because of (& I'm sorry to point a finger) Christopher, the reader of the first few chapters. It's like he's doing a dramatic, sarcastic imitation of William Shatner's (Captain Kirk) method of speaking in short spurts of 1-3 words with lots of unnecessary pauses. I just wanted to tell him to relax, calm down, & don't be so dramatic!
Bravo from Borneo

I am so pleased to have come across this author and look forward to more of his work. This book is a delightful tale of a sea voyage and the perils experienced by the captain and his crew and passengers. I particularly appreciated the detail provided in sailing the nimble vessel. There are many challenges and events so very well created and described and the characters are well formed. I must pay tribute to the narrators who each did a tremendous job. I really liked this book.
wonderful
