Chapman Against the Sea: Great Adventure Stories
When the elements are against you,
there is no place to hide.
24 stirring, dramatic true tales of adventure on the high seas, from the pages of Motorboating . These riveting, edge-of-your-seat stories tell of heroes who embark on daring missions; of situations fraught with danger; and of maritime disasters that destroy ships and men. And each account comes direct from the very people who lived through the events. Here are a couple lost for more than two months after a pod of whales turn vicious and capsize their boat; somehow they managed to survive on a life raft in the middle of the Pacific. A gutsy 18-year-old woman navigates the globe solo-becoming the youngest person ever to accomplish this feat. In "Heroes," the Coast Guard fights to save three sailors caught in the same horrific weather that inspired The Perfect Storm . Every one is thrilling.
