I know that the epilogue is coming but I can't wait to review the whole story (minus the epilogue). I started to read the story about a year ago, got hooked pretty badly and finished all available chapters. I normally prefer to read finished stories, so that was pretty unusual for me to start this one. I'm not so good in waiting for weeks for a new chapter (esp. with those cliffhangers CJ loves) so I bookmarked the story and hatched the plan that I would read all in one go when the story is finished. About 3 days ago I noticed that just the epilogue was missing so I started from the beginning an reread everything. It was a wild ride (and some long nights). I absolutely loved the story. I like the characters (even though I wanted to shout quite often at Lisa and Joel for there obliviousness towards Bridget). I loved the adventure and I'm amazed at all the little details. I'm not sure if I ever learned so much from a story of this kind. I had no clue about sailing and most of the technical stuff before and haven't been to many of the prescribed places. So it was very interesting to learn sth about it. This story made me look up maps (not just google, even the suez canal where you could see the ships going through right at this moment), read up on historical, technical and scientific details (equation of time...) and I watched videos of rogue waves and rough waters to get a feeling for the southern crossing. No other story ever managed to make me so interested. I hope you continue writing for a long time. It will be interesting to see what your next topic will be. You seem to be someone who reads up on every little aspect needed for a story (I just can't believe that you knew everything before writing circumnavigation. Even though a lot sounded like first hand experience.) So I'm looking forward to learn about sth new again. Greetings, F PS: English is not my first language. Pls excuse any remaining mistakes.
