Summary: Exciting adventure story
Comment: I couldn't put this book down. I kept reading passages to my husband who wants to read it and give it to several friends. Pete Goss's style is breezy and conversational and it is clear that true adventurers are a breed apart. This is a great read.

Rating: 5
Summary: I couldn't put it down
Comment: This is an excellent, riveting book. Hats off to Pete Goss for not only sailing in this horrific race, but also for writing so sensitively and evocatively about it. The story of Pete Goss puts the lie to the idea that there are no heroes anymore. I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 3
Summary: Gybe or tack?
Comment: A great story of adventure, as the author describes his voyages around the world in several premier yacht races. Of course, the author did not chose a literary profession as a career, but never the less, he does a good job of describing in exciting detail the struggles and achievements of his life long obsession with some of the most challenging sailing events in the world.
