Negative Positive
Title: too much technical info.
Review: i am glad i read this book, but i am also very glad i am finished reading it. it had some funny and interesting stories of sea life. but it also had a lot of technical jargon in it, which greatly decreased my potential enjoyment of the book. i love the sea, but i do not sail. therefore, i have no idea, for example, what "scuppers" are. the book was riddled with terms like that, and it made the book rough sailing (pun intended) for a "land lubber" like myself. if you know sailing (or are an obsessed duran fan, like i am), buy this. otherwise, don't bother -- unless you want to spend your nose in a dictionary, and much of your time scratching your head in confusion.
