I found it compelling. I couldn't put it down. I was very emotionally engaged with the dog, in particular. I almost cried when they left him on the dock.
I liked how she was not afraid of intensity. She was honest and didn't romanticize life on a boat. It was a good story.

I loved your story, Rocky. I felt like I was there experiencing it too. Being from Northern California, I've been to all those places and I could picture each town. Thanks for sharing your intimate love story.

Dear Rocky,
You have written an extraordinary book. I fornd it through your dear friend Barb J. Thank you Barb.
Your writing is amazing to me. I know little/nothing about boating terminology but I never felt left out or cluless but instead right there (more like a fly on the wall, not participating in the action but taking it all in )with you, Wes, and Cleo aboard Reward. It was natural through your words to experience and feel the awe, adventure, fear, wrenching anxiety, futile sense of responsibility for someone else's happiness, sorrow, hope, fatigue, urgency, joy (of a shower, food, and others unexpected), beauty, failure, success, grittiness, discovery, and of course the love that you, Wes, and Cleo shared so intensely. I loved that dog.
It seems that you have experienced great personal success with this book, now I wish you great tangible success (why not!) I do think your book merits it and you deserve it.
Thank you for sharing with us, you are an inspiration.

I do have to say it was a book that I could not put down. After the first exciting chapter, I did not think that it could get any better. Each chapter was as good as the first.
I did find that it was quite sad in the last section of the book. You have been through a lot. You have "bared your soul" to your readers.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful book with me. I plan to read you poetry book next.

Aloha Rocky,
Wow!!! Just Wow!!!! I just finished reading "In Poseidon's Pocket" this
afternoon and I was captivated from the very first chapter. You have lived
an extraordinary life (to say the least) and I can totally understand how
you have gotten to the point (philosophically) that you are now with your
simple, quiet life on the Big Island.
I grew up in Northern California (in Chico for 30 years and then later
lived in Woodland and Davis) and I am familiar with most of the small
coastal towns you and Wes docked at during your fishing days. Do you still
keep in touch with any of the other fisherman from the fleet? I would
imagine they are all retired by now?
I studied oceanography, astronomy and physics while I was working on my
biology degree in college, so I really appreciated your insightful
references to these disciplines in your vivid descriptions of your
observations while at sea. I couldn't help but share several of the
adventures and events you described in the book to Barb and she has
already read the first 2 chapters as well. She will probably read the rest
while we are on the plane when we fly to LA to visit Barb's mom.
We have also read several of your poems and thoughts in the "Meanderings
of a Twisted Mind" and have thoroughly enjoyed them as well. You are a
very talented writer with a vast amount of life experience and wisdom to
draw from. Barb and I both think that "In Poseidon's Pocket" would make an
incredible screen play. You must have heard the same thoughts from others
who have read your books?
Mahalo nui loa for sharing your books with us. We feel honored to have
had the opportunity to read them.
Aloha,
Eric
