I took a little Kindle peek at it and must read it. I'm hoping that it is in the spirit of the original when the story drifted so well in and out of reality. Yes, I know it is fiction, but the narrative had me hook line and sinker. Besides, Miss Essie is real and so are you! What perfect escapist reading that was while on my own escape crewing to the Marquesas.

I had given up on the sequel, instead working through the entire list of books recommended here, including some hard to find such as the Bubba Whartz stories and some of the Herb Payson books. Yippee!
