More aviation and locale centric. Got any good nautical centric adventures to throw out there? Let me recommend Castigo Cay by Bracken.
Meh. Been bored with nautical centric books lately. Just not enough adventure unless you get into the old classics we've all read already. No one writes good boat adventure stories anymore. Hmmm... No. Working on something else at the moment.
Anyway, last two I read were "The Proving Ground" by G. Bruce Knecht, true story about the Hobart race (Australia to Tasmania) where weather takes a bad turn, lot of boats lost.
Other was "Pirate Latitudes" by Michael Crichton which was so memorable I can't recall what it was about.
If you have any that are set in this century, please share.
On a side note, I re-read Alas, Babylon over the weekend, first time in over 20 years. The smell of old book was pleasant. Story wasn't quite as good as I recalled it being. I do see why I kept it on my shelves all these years, but so much more could have been done with it as far as fleshing out the details of how they survived. Also interesting to consider the world view from 1959 as opposed to how we think about that time frame now.
