Hope I'm not going to far from your winter reading topics. Here is some I've learned from and enjoyed. I must say the Perfect Storm is high on my list of great books. Can't wait for the movie!! "Alone at Sea" by Hannes Lindemann Pollner Veriag Two Atlantic crossings in a dug out canoe and a folding kayak. "The Dream Time Voyage" by Paul Caffyn Circumnavigation of Australia, by sea kayak "Our Last Chance" by Bill and Simonne Butler Exmart Press Survived 66 days in a life raft on the Pacific Bill tried his best but rarely really seemed to please Simonne. The ultimate tandem voyage and their marriage survived!! "Capsized" by James Nalepka and Steven Callahan Harper Four men 116 days on the south Pacific in their overturned boat. "Adrift" by Steven Callahan 76 days in a life raft on the Atlantic A true test of survival with min. gear. I have a strong admiration of the survival instinct of both Hanns Lindemann and Steven Callahan. We should have all the safety back up possible but if you ain't got da will to survive in a life threatening situation your are missing the most important backup.
