Title: I really wanted to like this one
Product review: When the story centers on the actual voyage itself and its many challenges, it essentially works. The main problem I had with "Storm Passage" was the fact that the writer, "Webb", comes off as a self-absorbed, pompous windbag. He wines about EVERYTHING. And alternates in personality between "victim", "worldly and cultured "gentleman" and "narcissistic bore bursting with boneheaded pride". He will also inexplicably throw in descriptions about himself out of nowhere. -At one point mentioning his "full lips" and his "cleft chin" (which he says is his best feature). Really? Hmm. So, any interest in the story of the voyage (s) is literally sucked dry by the fact that you have to hang out with this egotistical and largely miserable person. It's too bad really, because his voyage and his achievements are extraordinary. Who knows, maybe in the years since this account he grew up a little bit.
