Fatal Forecast: An Incredible True Tale of Disaster and Survival at Sea
- Used Book in Good Condition
Now in paperback, a true story as spellbinding and harrowing as The Perfect Storm, â€œmarvel- ous and terrifyingâ€ (Los Angeles Times)â€”published to herald the arrival of Tougiasâ€™s new hardcover, The Finest Hours.Â

OnÂ Â theÂ Â morningÂ Â of NovemberÂ 21,Â 1980, twoÂ smallÂ boatsÂ set outÂ forÂ GeorgesÂ Bank,Â aÂ lucrative but perilous lobster fishing ground off the coast of Cape Cod. The National Weather Service had forecast typical fall weather, and the young, rugged crewmen aboard the Sea Fever and the Fair Wind had no reason to expect that this trip would be any different from the dozens theyâ€™d made earlier in the season. But the only weather buoy in the area was malfunctioning, and the National Weather Service had failed to reveal this critical detail. And as the two small boats headed out to sea, a colossal storm was brewing to the southeast, a furious maelstrom that would batter the boats with sixty-foot waves and hurricane-force winds. A true story of catastrophe and survival at sea, this is a vivid moment-by-moment account of seventy-two hours in the lives of eight young fishermen. Most amazing is the story of Ernie Hazzard, who spent more than fifty terrifying hours adrift on the stormy open sea.Â

Gripping and heart-pounding, Fatal Forecast is an unfor- gettable true story about the collision of two spectacular forces: the brutality of nature and the human will to survive.
