Desolation Island
3 journalers for this copy...
Captain Bligh (yes, the guy from the Bounty) needs to be rescued, and the Royal Navy has the perfect man for the job: Captain Jack Aubrey. With his friend and cloak-and-dagger expert Stephen Maturin in tow, Aubrey sets off for Australia. Several factors, including an attractive spy and a small-scale epidemic, conspire to change his plans, and before long his frigate is being pursued into Antarctic waters by a Dutch man-of-war.

1 Master & Commander

4 The Mauritius Command

To the north sea
Arrived safe & sound today! Looking very much forward to get back to sea with Jack Aubrey & Stephen Maturin.Update, August 27th 2013: It's not so much the story, but language and description of certain moods and situations what I so loved about "Desolation Island". It made me long for my next sailing trip – a lot.
Looking forward to reading more.
Gut & sicher angekommen! Ich freue mich sehr darauf, ein weiteres Mal mit Jack Aubrey & Stephen Maturin in See zu stechen.
Nachtrag, 27. 8. 2013: Es war nicht so sehr die Story, vielmehr die Sprache und die Beschreibungen einzelner Stimmungen und Situationen, die mich bei "Desolation Island" begeistert haben. Sie weckten bei mir die Sehnsucht nach dem nächsten Segeltörn – große Sehnsucht.
Ich freue mich auf alle weiteren Bände.

In its winter harbour now...thank you very much.
I loved reading this part. Not so much sailing stuff, more about men and women this time. I also liked all those information about the Antarctic.
