Customer Review:

I was floundering around, trying to decide what to read next. I spotted Mark Kurlansky's book on my shelf and realized it had been sitting there since 1997.

Fatal Forecast: An Incredible True Tale of Disaster and Survival at Sea
from Scribner
Price: $10.33

Customer Review:

This is the most important book regarding commercial fishing because it is real. It should be required reading as the general public is never told about what goes on on the ocean. It is part of our country but the media cheats us and fishermen by not reporting it. This book reports what happenned... more info

I find myself relaxing as I enter the physical, simple, honest life of these islanders, as if transported back to the first half of the... more info
