GODFORSAKEN SEA, Racing the World's Most Dangerous Waters, by Derek Lundy (1st Ed. SIGNED)
Author: Derek Lundy. Published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA, 1998. 1st Edition. Signed & Dedicated by Author. Printed in USA. Good Condition SOFTCOVER Book, with minor wear to cover and edges, slight curve to front cover. Size: 6 x 9 inch, 272 pages.
In the tradition of Into Thin Air and The Perfect Storm, GODFORSAKEN SEA is an intensely gripping account of the round-the-world single-handed yacht race that claimed the life of Canadian sailor Gerry Roufs in a make-or-break dash through 12,000 miles of terror in the Southern Ocean.
"Riveting, often frightening... Godforsaken Sea digs into the psychology of extreme sports.... Lundy tries to understand why these men and women do what they do [and] recreates the moments when their self-control is overwhelmed by chaos." -- Reviewed by The Toronto Star
