Goss, Pete CLOSE TO THE WIND An Extraordinary Story of Triumph over Adversity
G. K. Hall 1999 0783887523 / 9780783887524 Large Print Edition Hardcover Very Good- with no dust jacket
Ex-Library; 26 oz.; 352 pages; Ex library HC no DJ VG- Large Print very clean/tight/bright copy. More details/pics upon request. On November 3, 1996, former Royal Marine Pete Goss embarked on the most grueling competition in his sailing career: the Vendee Globe, a nonstop, single-handed round-the-world yacht race. For the next seven weeks he met every challenge in his stormy path, from combating waves the height of six-story buildings to grappling with his spinnaker in high winds. Then everything began going wrong: His sails were destroyed, his navigation equipment proved useless. And on Christmas Day his radio picked up a Mayday that a French competitor was sinking 160 miles away. Turning into the hurricane-force winds, Goss set out to rescue a near-dead man on a life raft somewhere in the vast wilderness of the merciless southern ocean. How he did it makes this extraordinary tale as amazing as it is thrilling.
