"Of all the things that drive men to sea, the most common disaster, I've come to learn, is women."
Charles Johnson - Middle Passage
Seriously, you can't tell me that you don't want to read on to find out what disaster with women has lead this dude to the sea. I've toyed with a book about women disasters.... I've plenty of research. Sadly, I as good as this first sentence is, I'm not sure it's enough to make me read another story about the sea or one with the title Middle Passage. I've yet to a sea tale that made me think it wasn't a waste of time. Captain and Commander came close, but still quite far from the goal.
