About this product

Product Information

The tale of Carl Wake and the hurricane that was waiting for him goes straight to the heart of the greatest sea stories: they are not about man against the sea, but man against himself. John Kretschmer's book is as perfectly shaped and flawlessly written as such a story can be. In addition to being the best depiction I have ever read of what it is like to be inside a hurricane at sea, At the Mercy of the Sea is as moving a story of a man's failure and redemption as can be found anywhere in the literature of the sea. This book is surely destined to become a classic. -Peter Nichols, author of Sea Change and A Voyage for Madmen John Kretschmer has transformed this story of three men on a collision course with a hurricane into a modern seafaring classic. -Peter Nielsen, editor of SAIL magazine With expert analysis and taut writing, he draws readers into that mad storm. You can't turn away. You keep reading until it breaks your heart. -Fred Grimm, columnist for the Miami Herald Once begun, his vivid and powerful narrative is impossible to put down. -Derek Lundy, author of Godforsaken Sea and The Way of a Ship I felt I knew Carl Wake, because John Kretschmer found in him an archetype-an aging sailor with an age-old dream. -Jim Carrier, transatlantic sailor and author of The Ship and the Storm: Hurricane Mitch and the Loss of the Fantome A remarkable book, impossible to put down. -Herb McCormick, sailing journalist

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
