As much of a slog the first "Master & Commander" book was for me with all the technical seafaring stuff in the first 2/3s, the second book is a real page turner. I started it last night and didn't want to put it down. Much more character driven this time around and less lingo to remember :)
I'm becoming quite fond of the good doctor, I have to say.

A glass of wine with you and I give you joy of your first pass through Post Captain. It gets better the more you get into it. And you *will* find yourself gradually understanding the nautical stuff.
sharon, which she has rather warm feelings for the Captain, who is no mere rake.
