Dagny Rocks

Dagny Rocks is a fun series of stories about the adventures that occur on an enormous sailboat. The main characters travel from the North Sea to the Caribbean Sea, along with an interesting series of crew members. The tribulations one faces in the many ports Dagny dropped anchor were written in such a way that, even though one might lose one’s mind at the time, were laugh-out-loud funny. Hindsight works that way, I suppose. Encounters with oddly interesting people always make for good storytelling. The author seamlessly incorporates her personal experiences, growing up traversing oceans on a tugboat with her family, into the mix. The rhythm of the book is a continuous flow, almost like a cadence, that draws you in and makes it hard to stop reading merely because the chapter ends. Imageries of the lush, beautiful, while varied, islands of the Caribbean, and even the crazy bustle of the native culture easily lend cause to want to visit. A nice, easy, pleasant read. I highly recommend it.
