Farley Mowat has been accused of sitting in a Toronto bar while concocting these wonderfully stirring tales of the island rock, Newfoundland. Put your mind at ease, mates, and enjoy the book as a true treasure. I lived in Newfoundland for three years before discovering this book. I can heartily recommend you read it with good appetite! It is a cake mixed with truth skillfully told, covered with a frosting of humor, and served with a piquant flourish.These saltwater tales, revolving around Mowats' titanic struggle to find, refurbish and actually sail a boat determined to sink herself and all hands, are chalk full of laughs, tension, tragedy, and still more laughs. Its truths are better than any fiction.Haul up your anchor and sail away with this master storyteller as he outsalts the famed Royal Canadian Mounted Police, falls into the rummish cluthes of Screech, narrowly escapes icy death, and finds the beautiful maiden."The Boat Who Wouldn't Float" is a worthy vessel in which to sail the seas of leisure time. So fill your cup and drink deeply while the captain spins his tales. Grey Seas Under; Farley Mowat; Paperback; $5.39; The publisher, Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, Inc.: "One of the great storytellers of our century writes passionately of the courage of men and of a small, ocean-going salvage tug, Foundation Franklin. The captain and the crew were mostly Newfounders; the sea was in their blood. Battered by towering waves, dwarfed by the ships she towed, blasted by gale-force winds and frozen by squalls of snow and rain, the stout ship and her brave crew saved hundreds of vessels and thousands of lives as they battled their ancient enemy, the North Atlantic. "Recognized as a first-rate saga of the sea."--Montreal Gazette. "Handled with boldness and ingenuity. . .should entrance even the most confirmed landlubber."--Toronto Star. "Farely Mowat writes as a good helmsman steers--with easy skill, admirable precision, and the authority of a sailor in his element."--Nicholas Monsarrat Boatbuilding Book Sales Columbus Coast Guard Book Sales Cruising Guide Sea Tale Book Sales Sailing, Ships, Yachtsman, Naval, Nautical Dictionary Sea Tale Books Explorers Book Sales Great Lakes Book Sales Hitler U Boat War HORNBLOWER SEA HISTORICAL NOVELS) THE ARTS OF THE SAILOR Lighthouse Book Sales Boat Maintenance Books Sea Tale Book Store Melville, Herman Book Sales Naval History List 1 SAILING SHIP MODELS Farley Mowat Book Sales Nelson Patrick O'Brian HISTORICAL NOVELS OCEAN BOOK SALES Pirate Book Sales SEAMANSHIP BOOK SALES Sea Stories Book Sales Endurance : Shackleton's Incredible Voyage Ship Book Sales Single-Handed Voyage Book Sales Sailing Ships Submarines Book Sales Shipwrecks Book Sales Titanic Books & Links Tom Clancy Book Sales Lost Treasure Book Sales Lost Treasure Book Sales Sailing Ships Voyages around the world Book Sales
