Little thing but POB's descriptions just constantly make me want to chew on things:
THE LAND IN question was Cape Nao, the southern limit of their cruising ground: it stood up there against the western horizon, a dark certainty, hard in the vagueness along the rim of the sky.
(Master and Commander, Chapter 7)
