On June 18, 2004, a glorious and futuristic new vessel, the Spirit of Ontario 1, began plying the fresh waters of Lake Ontario in the Great Lakes between the cities of Rochester, New York and Toronto, Canada. After two wild and tumultuous years which saw the coming and going of two different owners, two different management companies, and hundreds of crew members and personnel, the financially troubled service made its last run on December 12, 2005. Gone with the Breeze traces the ups and downs of this magnificent high-speed ferry during its two years of operation as seen from the crew. Despite its financial failure in 2004, rebirth in 2005, and subsequent failure, the vessel was a huge success in the eyes of the riding public. Part history, part tribute to the crew, this reflective and entertaining book will provide a humorous and informative behind-the-scenes read. The book contains 8 color and 8 b&w photos.
