About this ebook
Broken Seas is a special collection of nautical stories that will sweep readers into the world of high seas adventure and desperate survival. These specially researched stories, involving the personal work and knowledge of the author, investigate legends such as the last hours of the Edmund Fitzgerald as a deadly storm deepened; the incredible adventure of Gerry Spiess aboard a 10-foot plywood sloop as he sets off to sail across the vast and unpredictable Pacific Ocean; the final days of Mike Plant, America's greatest solo racing sailor, as he headed out to sea aboard his new 60-foot racer, Coyote – never to be seen again; the desperate survival of an old man against the inland sea of Superior as an ice storm descends and his motor quits. Here also is the first-person survival tactics of another solo sailor – the author – in his home-built 20-foot sailboat, Persistence, as the storm of the century hits Lake Superior –with downbursts of 134 mph. Broken Seas is nautical nonfiction at its best – and most readable and involving.
