Fatal Forecast: An Incredible True Tale of Disaster and Survival at Sea by Michael J. Tougias - 4* - My Review

Michael Tougias tells the true story of a storm that hit Georges Bank in 1980, involving a malfunctioning weather buoy, and many mayday calls from boats and ships caught in the raging Atlantic seas off the coast of the northeastern US and Canada. The author documents research and interviews done years later. It provides a detailed account of what happened to those aboard the Sea Fever and the Fair Wind, and centers on the experiences of a sole survivor of one of the ships sunk in the storm. It is a sad tale that resulted in a needless loss of life. It is about courage, a fight for survival, and honor among seafarers who do whatever they can to help ships in distress. It is a riveting true story of the power of the sea.
