jerrydavis said: Gripping account of a family who loses their mother in a tragic car accident, then the dad and his three sons sell the home, the sail boat, and set off for a year-long sail from the Florida Keys to the Bermudas. Well, that wasn't the plan initially, but the dad is pretty much depressed and half-crazed. This is a tough read for any dad who seeks to have good relations and open communication with his family. The focus of the story is how the boys survive the journey, storm, and desertion. Miraculously, they all end of together again?! I am very conflicted about this story and the characters!
