txbookmama's review against another edition
4.0
This story about a sailing disaster (and subsequent rescue) was really interesting. I learned a lot about how the Coast Guard operates and about survival in (very) high seas. It was well written and included a lot of material that was clearly gathered from talking to the participants, rather than just facts and figures.

A heart-pounding story of a rescue on the high seas that made me not want to go near a boat for a while.

I'm actually a little sad I read this one, because apparently it's the kid version and I bet the adult one has even more details. It's an exciting story of a small ship getting buried by the sea and the amazing rescue by the Coast Guard, while quietly in the background another ship is lost completely with no survivors. The details of each person and the decisions, bits of luck good and bad, and skill of the SAR team all come vividly to life.
