and this was a great story, complete with a highlight twist at the end, I didn't see that one coming. So cool. And beautifully narrated, thank you so much. I also liked the little ditty interlude at one point
Very entertaining from first to last.
A few small edits I would suggest, mainly there are some pauses that are overly long for a listener, but textually it was word-perfect, well done:
>
at the beginning: we recommend
between 0.5 and 1 second maximum of silence, you have 5 seconds, please crop it significantly
the 5 second rule is for the end of the project
>
from 0:43 to 0:47: between "Bert Leston Taylor" and "the whaling bark" - also here, nearly
4 seconds of silence is too much, I always recommend staying under 2 seconds, even for paragraph changes
>
at 0:49: (p. 1) "of Fairhaven,
Mass." - this might be optional, but I would say "
Massachussetts" here, to make the abbreviation clearer
>
from 15:48 to 15:50: (p. 7) between "returned below" and "the wind" -
pause too long
>
from 16:17 to 16:19: (p. 7) between "a thousand miles away" and "in the plain tale" -
pause too long
thanks, and I'm happy you were able to read the story from the archive copy. Brownie points for persistance.

it's hard when we wish that our significant others are gone for a while 
Wishing you a quick recovery. And editing from bed really sounds like dedication
