Reviews

Ashcraft emerges as a fiercely independent, strong sailor...The story certainly has enough adrenaline-pumping action to satisfy nautical adventure junkies. Call this book life-affirming, a saga of human survival, a tale of loss and victory, proof of the resilience of the human spirit--it's any of those and all of them. Amazing but true story of tragedy and survival at sea.
