A quick and compelling read. I can't even begin to fathom where Debbie found the strength. I would've pitched myself into the sea on the second day.

I'd read an excerpt from this book in Barbara Sjoholm's "Steady as She Goes: Women's Adventure's at Sea," and knew that I had to read the rest, as it was the most gripping story in the book.

Scaling is helping deliver a boat from Maine to the Caribbean when it sinks in the Atlantic. She and four other crewmates are adrift on a dinghy, with sharks surrounding them. They don't all survive.

Good writing, great read.
