Amazing book. I started it at bedtime and ended up finishing it that night. My copy came from the library. Relatively recently reissued. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/324056.Log_of_the_S_S_the_Mrs_Unguentine

Written by Stan Crawford; multiple works of fiction written that had fallen out of print. For the last 40 years he has been garlic farming in Dixon, New Mexico, a place I've had the pleasure of visiting. He died earlier this year. I never met him but I regret it. What a brilliant and lovable guy!
