A Storm Too Soon: A True Story of Disaster, Survival and an Incredible Rescue by Michael J. Tougias
4.0
A 47 foot sailboat in the Atlantic is filling with water. It looks like the EPIRB is broken. The waves are averaging 50 feet. The three sailors will eventually wind up on a life raft in 80 foot waves. 80 foot waves! The story of the rescue is incredible. Will the helicopter go down? Will the rescue swimmer make it?
Great book. I've read a lot of sailboat disaster books and this really one stands out. (Along with Deborah Scaling Kiley's book, but that's another story.) I like the I learned a bit about storms in the Gulf Stream, sharks and lifeboats and a few other things.
