Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB and UNREAD condition book which is a classic ocean survival memoir written by DOUGAL ROBERTSON--the book is a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy. This book is in SUPERB condition and the book itself is an UNREAD copy with slight shelfwear on the page edges and NO other significant imperfections; the dustjacket has slight dings and a few tiny tears on the spine and opening tips, a tiny tear on the lower right corner of the back surface and very small tear on the lower left of the back surface, slight browning on the BACK surface of the jacket and just slight shelfwear otherwise but no other significant flaws! The book is titled Survive the Savage Sea and it was written by DOUGAL ROBERTSON; it was published by Praeger Publishers in 1973 and is a book club edition.In June 1972, the 43-foot schooner Lucette was attacked by killer whales and sank in 60 seconds. What happened next is almost incredible. In an inflatable rubber raft, with a 9-foot fiberglass dinghy to tow it, Dougal Robertson and his family were miles from any shipping lanes. They had emergency rations for only three days and no maps, compass, or instruments of any kind. After their raft sank under them, they crammed themselves into their tiny dinghy.For 37 days—using every technique of survival—they battled against 20-foot waves, marauding sharks, thirst, starvation, and exhaustion, adrift in the vast reaches of the Pacific before their ordeal was ended by a Japanese fishing boat. The Robertsons' strong determination shines through the pages of this extraordinary book which describes movingly their daily hopes and fears, crises and triumphs, tensions and heartbreaks.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
