Didn't know what to expect.. another random choice author. Was a good story with fun characters

My dad passed this book along to me and it was a fairly enjoyable read. The boat-related passages are written cleanly and competently; there's no question the author knows the territory and he effectively draws you in. His technical references, one of my usual peeves, are flawless. My disappointment was the protagonist: she was strong and capable, but there seemed a good deal of uncharacteristic and unnecessary behavior I felt took away from the flow of the story.

Read this years ago- really liked the boats setting, and it was a light, easy read.
