A book that I recently acquired for the purposes of giving it away.

This book is one of many being passed along to potential readers at the Gaithersburg Book Festival by members of BookCrossing in Washington DC (BCinDC).

Any future reader or recipient of this book is encouraged to leave a journal entry here on the BookCrossing site to let prior readers know the fate of the book. You can make an anonymous entry without joining the BookCrossing movement, but if you are interested in joining, it is a free and spam-free community where your contact information is not shared with others. Best of all, members receive private messages via e-mail from books like this one when those books are journaled, allowing for long-term relationships between books and readers.

A terrifying story about what happens in 1998 when a 270' schooner is in the wrong place at the wrong time when it meets Hurricane Mitch, one of the most powerful and destructive storms of the 20th century. I picked up this soft cover copy at the BC in DC Bookcrossers' tent at the 2019 Gaithersburg Book Festival.
