Post Captain finished with pleasure and now on to HMS Surprise, third in the #Aubrey and #Maturin saga of 20 by #Patrick_O'Brian. Best holiday reading ever - should know as this is the seventh or eighth time I've read the novels.

@JackAubrey Sir, I cannot say how happy I am to find a presumed fellow enthusiast for the books of #Patrick_O'Brien here. My reading of choice when the "real" world gets too much. My warmest greetings.
