A +1 for this recommenation. I particularly enjoyed this for how the sailor explains his situation, using the mental tools avilable to him at that period of time. I always enjoy the how author goes to great lengths to explicate a period mind set (Name of the Rose/Baudolino/Island/Focualts) so it feeds the fabric of the narrative for the reader.
