Title: Distant Waters, Indeed!
Review: You kind of suspect that any sailing to strange waters is probably not off to a good start when it begins with hanging one of the crewman. Especially, when you as Captain, recognize that it is most like unwarranted, although absolutely required under British law.Drinkwater is being sent to the Pacific Northwest to "show the flag" so to speak and in doing so he encounters difficulties and dangers that seem to await him wherever he sails.As usual, Richard Wodman captures the essence of wht it must have been like in those days and gives the reader a large measure of sailing adventure as the H.M.S. Patrician ventures forth into "distant waters."The author continues to excel at this type of novel and I have ordered all of the remaining books he has written with Captain Drinkwater and look forward to several months of adventure on the high seas.
