I really enjoyed this. It's a beautiful story, I liked how time travel was dealt with, I liked the setting -- Hawaii just before it became part of the United States -- and I liked the crew of the ship. My one complaint is that it felt like it was more the protagonist's father's story than her own. Everything hinges on decisions he makes, and how she'll react to it, rather than a decision that she's going to make. (In fact, at the end, she makes a decision to leave, since he can't seem to decide anything, then he changes his mind, so so does he. It still comes down to him.)
