Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In the extreme sport of blue water, or open ocean, yacht racing, the Sydney to Hobbart challenge is considered one of the most treacherous races in the world; 1998 proved why. Slammed by a sudden freak storm that unleashed ninety-mile-per-hour winds and enormous waves, twenty-four boats were abandoned at sea as sixty-three sailors fought for their lives. Amazingly, fifty-seven were rescued, but six died, including two who were never found. Premier adventure writer Martin Duggard takes us down 725 miles of Australia's eastern coast, and across the Bass Strait (known among sailors as 'Hell on High Water', as he re-creates the nightmare voyages of several ill-fated crews. Through interviews with racers, survivors, and devastated family members, he chronicles the emotional saga of the windswept sailors whose skill and daring were futile against the massive waves and unrelenting winds. He also probes the motivations of those unique individuals, including CEOs and Billionaires, who risk all to challenge nature's indiscriminate fury. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. In 1866 Britain's foremost explorer, Dr David Livingstone went in search of the answer to an age-old geographical riddle: where was the source of the Nile? Livingstone set out with a large expedition on a course that would lead through nearly impenetrable, unmapped terrain and into areas populated by fearsome man eating tribes. Within weeks his planned itinerary began to fall apart, his entourage deserted him and he vanished without trace into the African interior. Livingstone would not be heard from again for two years. 339 pages text with index. Map illustrated end-papers. With some illustrations. ALL ORDERS DESPATCHED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER.
