Sorry for the horrific landlubber mispronunciation of 'gunwale'. The word occurs in subsequent chapters where I use the correct pronunciation. I tried rerecording that paragraph, but the quality of my voice in the second effort was jarringly different so I couldn't use it. I tried recording just the word or the one sentence to drop in as a replacement, but again the voice quality was just too dissimilar and stuck out like a sore thumb. Weird that my voice doesn't seem to have much consistency in how it sounds from day to day... So the error will just have to stand.
