About this product
Product Information
Grab your faith; live your life! John De Silva's manuscript reads like a treatise on the power of faith in the presence of overwhelming odds. It is at once, inspiring and humbling, and wrings the gauntlet to call forth that which is best of each in every one of us. Mutiny, murder, and maritime disaster! Such are the makings of Captain John De Silva's recollections of a life spent at sea. Throughout his first person account of the voyage, De Silva explores the exquisite miseries and vicissitudes of life on the unforgiving oceans of our planet. The long and tiresome journey begins in January 2006. Captain John De Silva assumes command of Cape Agulhas and a misanthropic crew. Before the ship has completed its circuitous route along the African coastline, however, De Silva must answer to everything from biblical infestations of cockroaches to engine failures, duplicity and deceit. Nearly every imaginable disaster that can occur on a seafaring vessel, will. Yet, the palpable tension of the narrative underscores the tenacity of the human spirit as it is tested by God and nature alike. Through optimism, faith and a relentless desire to make it back to his family, De Silva guides the vessel through one hardship after another. CAPTAIN'S LOGBOOK offers a darkly humorous examination of man as he faces the best and the worst of his own kind. The colorful cast of characters includes barbarous sailors, corrupt port officials and a seasick cook with the culinary aptitude of a barnacle. All the characters portrayed in De Silva's log book are real, but pseudonyms have been used to protect their identity. Grab your copy today to find yourself thrown into the high seas for entertainment and enlightenment!
