Then another man comes aboard. At that point, i almost gave up. I stayed with the book because i liked the author's other book. I ended up skimming much of this book. It had just enough exciting moments that i gave it 3 stars. On page 83 he gives a position of This is well above the Arctic Circle. By the way, you allways state Latitude first, then longitude.

He also confuses abaft and aft and uses them incorrectly. Also, he does not have the foggiest about the terms coming off or coming up. There are many more errors, and I am forced to say that this book has been very poorly researched, and any sailor worth his salt would give it the deep six. Mr Targan should look in to books by Sterling Hayden and Allan Villiers if he wishes to spin a sea going yarn.
This novel by Barry Targan , who has published poetry and other prose, is his maiden voyage into the realm of maritime literature. The narrative is an inverted "Odyssey": Incorporating flashbacks, Targan's book details the concluding leg of a picaresque journey by Katherine Dennison, from the steamy jungle of Southeast Asia to the foggy coastline of northeast America. Dennison is a seafarer's daughter born at sea, a wartime photojournalist turned children's writer, and, most importantly, a skilled sailor.
She comes to realize that she has always believed in mythic creatures and sought mythic resolutions. Like Ulysses, Dennison survives the deadly fury of nature and the calculating treachery of man by her wits, demonstrating a mastery of ship and self, eventually finding an epiphanic release from the vessel which has served as the life-long incarnation of both her freedom and her restriction.
The other reviewer criticizes errors in the nautical and navigational passages in this book, but I was so dazzled by the story that I easily overlooked them. I've read this book twice, 2 years apart, and loved it both times. The range of human experiences is wonderful, the writing is tight, the plot left my heart thumping.
I've loaned the book to friends who felt the same. One person found this helpful. See all 4 reviews. There's a problem loading this menu right now. Get fast, free shipping with Amazon Prime.
