Book Review: A cautionary tale
Summary: 3 Stars
This was a fairly balanced story of Catagory 5 Hurricane Mitch and the Windjammer Barefoot Cruise's schooner Fantome in October, 1998 and their horrific crossing of paths. Having sailed two of the Barefoot ships in rapid succession early in my sailing avocation-but switching to the Maine schooner fleet due to the heavy partying at WBC-I was interested in learning what errors were made that resulted in this deadly loss of crew and craft. While the author embroiders a bit too much with the dreams and portents of the crewmember's families at the time of their deaths, the cutting back and forth between the US National Hurricane Center, the Barefoot headquarters and Capt. Guiyan aboard the Fantome laid out the facts. The details of those land-based survivors in the Bay Islands and Honduras give further light to someone who may not have experienced even gale-force wind and water and how it affects your ability to cope. A cautionary tale for those who underestimate the forces of Mother Nature and overestimate man's abilities in dealing with them.
