Once he started the job, the boating experience was overwhelming because he didn't have any knowledge of nautical terms, but Ben learned quickly. He enjoyed most of the traveling especially when they stopped at the ports and tended to the wealthy guests. One disadvantage for Ben was that two of the crew members were not very interesting or pleasant.
The crew was heading to Honolulu and then sailing around the South Pacific for a year...not a bad job at all, but Ben was still uneasy about how things were being handled. Day tours seemed to be the order of the day while they waited for Carl, the owner, to return. The daily lives of the island people as well as the routine of being on the boat made up most of the book's plot along with the tension among the characters. The characters, landscapes, and scenes were very well described and allowed the reader to vividly experience how the characters felt and what the landscape and surroundings truly looked like.
The book is a sailing person's dream....a lot of seafaring terms and fun details for folks who enjoy being on board a ship/boat. The beautiful landscape of Tahiti was also well described, along with some mystery and, of course, romance. The mystery was trying to determine what the real motive of the ship’s owner was.
