The ideal point of you, the one we always want to know about. We travelled with Captain Hans Mateboer twice and enjoy his company and his wife's. It was a great surprise to share the extent of his humour!

I loved this book. It is broken into self contained chapters so it's easy to pick up and put down. The stories are often funny, sometimes amuzing, and always delightful.

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."
