Seller's Description:
Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
This is not mucking about in boats - this is
about the real thing when a mistake was
fatal, and if it didn't kill you, it took out one of
your shipmates. There were no helicoptors
and no sat-nav. No self-inflating life-rafts
with radio-beacons and no warm, storm-
proof bridges with rotary, self-cleaning wind-
screens. Get a copy of "The last grain race"
as well and I guarantee you excitement - or
you have no soul!! GRRRRRR!!
Uncle Mac.
