    A really wholesome book about coming of age and making a career at sea. This story is full of humor, excitement, character moments and sweet relationships. While most of it consists of seperate little occurrences and stories, there are some consistent arks throughout the book. The author himself was a navy officer, so I could rely on the book being accurate about the depection of on-board activities. The ending felt a little rushed, a lot of things were happening all of the sudden, but it still ended quite satisfyingly. It's a book for all ages and I highly recommend it.
