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.

Bought this as a gift for the guy who I think has everything. And even if he doesn't have everything... What he would want would be so elusive to me that I couldn't possibly guess!

I have recently read other books about the southern ocean and sailing in gale force winds. This was an enjoyable and easy read. There is a lot of suspense and will keep you intertained. I think if you enjoy sailing or boating you will enjoy this book. These are a rare breed of men.

Fatal Forecast: An Incredible True Tale of Disaster and Survival at Sea

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.
