Publisher's Summary
Soon after the Fair Wind and the Sea Fever reached the fishing ground at Georges Bank, they were hit with hurricane-force winds and massive 90-foot waves that battered the boats for hours. The direction of the wind made it impossible to turn back. The Fair Wind soon capsized, drowning all but one of the crewmembers. The Sea Fever was nearly torn apart.
Here is the hour-by-hour account of the struggles faced by the eight crewmembers of the Fair Wind and the Sea Fever, including the incredible ordeal of Ernie Hazard, who endured three days in a lifeboat in open water. The book also details the dramatic rescue attempts made by the Coast Guard, on a day in which it received more mayday calls than any other in New England history.

Intreresting story
It's hard not to compare this to A Perfect Storm but it is an interesting listen on it's own. One does get the sense of how dangerous and isolated the Atlantic can be.

I listened to it twice in a row
This book blew my mind. I couldn't believe the events and how they unfolded. I have a huge amount of respect for these men and their experience. II highly recommend this book.

Enjoyable listen
It’s a good listen if you like the rescue at sea sort of genre. Not quite as captivating as some of Michael Tougias’ other books for me, mainly because it touched on many different perspectives rather than exploring any one overly deeply. But I still finished it in just a couple of days! Importantly, the narrator’s voice was pleasant, and easy to understand without being too loud. The narration is make-or-break for me!
