That must have been eerie. I noticed that Nick Ward, one of the two left on Grimalkin, has a book out called Left for Dead (I think). Hasn't gotten good reviews...

For those of you in Aus -- after reading Fatal Storm, I think that you need to rename the Bass Strait. How about "Stay Outta This Strait". Will keep up with Hobart next year...

Book's most incredible part was where 42-foot, nine-ton yacht got caught in the curl of a wave (after being rolled and dismasted by a previous wave) and surfed it for about 400 yards. The man at the helm, who was just keeping steerage way, said the boat was shooting the curl going "bap-bap-bap" along the top of the wave, which was in the 60-80 foot range.
