Outstanding read!

An amazing account of how a man kept his wits in distress. Even with Mr. Coleman's clear headed thinking, he still made some grave mistakes -- from which, as a result of his will to survive, he was fortunate enough to recover. If you want to know the details of how a search and rescue operation is conducted on the high seas, this is the book for you. Sometimes too detailed, as the author himself admits -- but you can easily skip the technical parts which are not of interest. Still a great read without them!
