Eighty Years Ashore & Afloat... With Uncle Jethro

As sea fairing stories go, this one was a delight. Uncle was a character of the sailing men whose work was on or about ships. Interesting, funny again so appreciated the time during the 1840s.
great story

generally very well read. some of the nautical terms were mispronounced such as "lead" which is in this case "led" not "leed." otherwise good narration and inflection made it enjoyable.
