A Swim : The Rhode Islander Who Refused to Drown

By: Fulweiler, Jr., John K.

Returning from Block Island, Rhode Island on a summer day, fifty-one year Joe Gross fell overboard. Alone in the Atlantic Ocean, Joe swam for eleven hours without a lifejacket or any flotation until he was rescued by the Coast Guard. In this remarkable story of survival, we learn how grit, determination and life experiences all play an integral part in reaching your full potential. The author, a maritime attorney and avid boater, provides vivid descriptions of the ordeal including the behind-the-scenes efforts of the Coast Guard. This is a tale that will never again have you leaving the dock without wearing a lifejacket!
