"Like The Perfect Storm, this collection tells hypnotic tales of mariners battling the remorseless sea." - Tim Queeney, Editor, Ocean Navigator

Hear the riveting stories of men and women battling the elements and often each other, to stay alive, confronting savage storms, rough waves, mountainous icebergs, sharks, starvation and their own fear and suffering. From Sebastian Junger's The Whale Hunter to Herman Wouk's The Caine Mutiny, Rough water is a unique collection of the finest writing on what drives men and women to the sea, and what they face when they get there.
