Description
Godforsaken Sea: Racing the World's Most Dangerous Waters In this gripping account of the 1996-97 Vendee Globe round-the-world yacht race, Derek Lundy weaves together the stories of the sailors, the science of the sea, and the human fascination with the ocean. From the birth of storms to the design of boats, Lundy explores the complex relationship between us and the sea. Through interviews with the sailors and insightful descriptions of meteorology and physics, Lundy reveals the reasons why people risk their lives to sail. This is a book about the allure and the danger of the sea, and the people who are drawn to it. With 241 pages of engaging narrative, Godforsaken Sea is a compelling read for anyone interested in the world of sailing and the ocean.
