Book Reviews of The Captain's Log
Book Review: Amusing Book
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed these 20+ stories written by from the prospective of the Captain and officers on a Cruise Ship. Several of the stories were exceptionally humorous; my favorite was called "The Duck Died". The Captain and his crew "borrowed" a duck from a pond in Sitka for the purpose of performing a practical joke on another crew member. They promised the local authorities that the duck would be well taken care of and returned safely on their way back from Sitka. The duck spent the remainder of the cruise in the bathtub of a deluxe cabin and to quote, "The duck was returned to her pond in Sitka, a celebrity amongst other ducks for sure, being the only one of her breed to have completed an Alaskan cruise."
Summary of The Captain's Log
The book contains short stories about the life on board a cruise ship. It is written by a captain and everything in the book really happened. Most of the stories are humorous and some serious. They evolve around crew and passengers alike and do give an insight into the daily life on board a ship. Some of these stories have been and still are published in magazines and are highly successful.Memoirs Books
