I love how it ended in a cliffhanger. It makes me look forward to what's going to happen next. I would have liked it better if the nautical terms were creatively explained for average readers to learn about and appreciate as they absorb the scenes. The imagery is vivid enough to hook someone in, but unexplained jargon popping up here and there can easily jolt someone - who is unfamiliar with the terms - out off of the zone.
