[Rhodes22-list] Hobart to Sydney Race

[Benjamin Cittadino]

You know Jb, there ought to be a movie but I don't think there is.
Unfortunately, movie folks probably said, "The Perfect Storm", seen one
"boat-in-a-storm" movie you've seen them all. There's probably a
documentary, one of those discovery channel or history channel deals. 

I'll tell you though, this book rivals "Into Thin Air" (the Everest
Disaster), and "The Perefct Storm".
