[Rhodes22-list] Hobart to Sydney Race

[ben]

Those are two of my favorite books.  I just added this to my wish list on
Amazon, which is the home of most of my future reads.  At the pace I'm
reading now, I won't get to it until 2015, but that's okay.

Actually, several of Dugard's books look really good to me.

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".
