Book started getting a bit more interesting around chapter 3 on. Author has a flair for nautical knowledge, settings and character descriptions tho lacking  a bit in dialogue and plot credibility. Protagonist was rough around the edges and incorrigible making him difficult to warm up to initially but I began liking him more when he related his humbling experience as a shoe salesman. Action sequences were always exciting, the boat in the storm scene at the midway point being spectacular. Some of my favorite lines from the book include "The air was so thick, I'd have to use Braille to find my face" "I felt like I needed to call the psychic hotline for guidance" and "How appropriate that they had named a mean and inconsiderate storm after my former wife". Overall, an ok book that I'm glad to have had the opportunity to have read.
