Status Updates From Call Me Captain: A Memoir o...

A coconut crab was recently spotted on Oahu....and everyone wondered how it got there?

I guess the book moves along quickly once getting started. Right now, Susan (the author) is sailing the ship. She has learned how to drive a boat. I am especially drawn to the parts where she talks about the unique marine life she encounters--like the snapping shrimp.

I think it's pretty cool how she is using this experience on the sea away from her husband as a way to reflect and draw closer to him.

Interesting so far, it's not really the type of book I usually read, but since I do read the "Ocean Watch" newspaper columns that the author writes in the local paper, I thought I'd try.

There are a few things that I can't relate to (yet)--menopause symptoms, for one.

Not really my usual type of book, but I'm sticking with it.
