Customer Reviews

Entertaining read about a grueling sporting event.

I enjoyed this big. I could relate to a lot of the feelings that the crew members, and the author of the book, described. I especially could understand the concept of laying in your bunk, the boat picthing wildly upwind, thinking to yourself, 'What the hell am I doing here?' I don't know how many times that thought has gone through my mind during less than hospitable off shore passages.Nothing I can say though, can justify just how well this book conveyed the incidents of the 2001-2002 VOR, and especially, the experinces, both good and bad, of Team News Corp.
