Can you believe I've never read this book?
As some of you may know I spent a large part of my time in my youth sailboat racing in one capacity or another.
Hell I thought the all night beat to Bimini was a rough trip.. (actually it was but it only lasted 12 hours). Somehow it always ended up being into the eye of the wind both ways
I will have to get this book a look. Wife works at the library so should be able to scare up a copy.
