Wonderful Description of the Human Spirit

The Crew of the RTL-Timex, a racing sailboat, was faced with diaster and recovered from it. Their sailboat capsized in rough seas between Bermuda and New York and they spent more than a week waiting for rescue. They were fortunate to be in shiping lanes, and see 5 ships before they finally got rescued! The author and the survivors wrote a section with survival tips and necessary materials that every salior should know about. A great read!
