Ed, I don't think I have heard of Farley Mowat and I am sorry to hear he passed.
I have watched that movie and it brought some old sad memories. I don't know what you were expecting to see. I was in almost the same situation in a life-raft for three days after a freighter run me over overnight between Malta and Sicilia. It was 1976 That movie was not an adventure to watch over a bowl of popcorn, it was about surrender.

He was on a list of Anarchists, Communists, and other ne'er do wells. Not a book, but has anyone seen the sailing disaster film, All Is Lost, with Robert Redford? I had high expectations, but was pretty disappointed. Ed From: Paul Fountain <p...@seasource.ca <mailto:p...@seasource.ca> > To: "Richard N.

So I picked up a used paperback copy on ebay. I laid it aside during spring launch and other activities, and came across it a couple of weeks ago. I just finished the book and I am hooked. This was a great read and I couldn't put it down. Since I know little of the northern waters described in the book, I kept my laptop next to me and scoped out all of the places they went, which made it even more enjoyable. So thank you to whomever it was that suggested the book, I am now a Mowat fan! Richard 1985 37 CB, Ohio River, Mile 584; Richard N.
