Exploding with true-grit adventures that will keep readers on beam's ends, Bold Sea Stories 2 is a collection of 26 startling, harrowing, and galvanizing real-life boating tales, complete with 60 photos, illustrations, and charts. Come aboard the world's smallest sailboat fighting to cross the North Atlantic—and survive—and join a solo sailor in the world's toughest sailboat race. Here are authentic accounts of extraordinary voyages, single-handed sailing feats, and great boats—some doomed to rest forever beneath the waves. Bold Sea Stories 2 is the exciting second book in Marlin Bree's Bold Sea Stories Series. The author has been honored with two Grand Prize Writing Awards from Boating Writers International.
Marlin Bree is a veteran boater and the author of 'Alone Against the Atlantic', 'Wake of the Green Storm', 'Call of the North Wind', and 'In the Teeth of the Northeaster'. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.
