Godforsaken Sea (Abridged): Racing the World's Most Dangerous Waters Audiobook

" I really lost interest half way through and didn't finish it. "

" This guy was crazy!! I could not relate in one way to his obsession. "

" It's not really finished but I gave the book to some guy I met yesterday in Germany who happens to have a boat after he promised to take me with him next time he sails to the UK, so for that I'm going to mark it read, 4 starts, will be 5 if this guy honors his promise "

" Shelagh's book club pick "

" being alone is the worst thing about be at sea for 6 months "

" This history of a past Vendee Globe single-handed sailing race had some exciting moments. The characters blurred in my head somewhat. "

" I love sailing, but this book made me rethink David's and my "around the world" plan. This is about the ultimate limits of human endurance, all alone, days and days from help at sea, despite all the high tech gear. "

" a lot of sailing jargon, but totally worth getting through to learn the story of these amazing people and their incredibly dangerous quest - won't look at the ocean the same way again. "

" Sailing solo around the world is tough. "

" Very interesting book about a race that I didn't even know existed. This race is similar (in terms of endurance and determination) to the Iditarod Race. "

" wow! drama, psychology, real-life heroes, sociology, physiology, science, history, excitement, hope, tragedy, awesomeness... "

" True story about endurance sailors who compete in the single-hand, around-the-world Vendee Globe in the Sourthern Ocean. Non-sailors may not find this book as exciting as those of us who have done modest, team distance sailboat races. If you're a sailor, you will love this book. "

" A very good read..incredible that these men and women risk there lives in pursuit of the sport and love of sailing. Some incredible accounts. Definitely worth a read! "

" The Vendee Globe is by far the coolest race in the world... "

" Another one of my favorite adventure stories. Another great feature of the book is that the author mentions several other books throughout, so you walk away with a list of books to read. :) "

" This was a very interesting story of the crazy people that sail alone non-stop around the world in the southern ocean. It dragged as a book, but was interesting enough to finish. "

" The best sailing adventure book ever written! "

" Sailing solo around the world is tough. "

" The rules of the Vendee Globe Sailboat race are simple. Sail from France, around Antarctica and back. Without stopping. Without an engine. Without resupplying. By yourself. <br/>As fast as you can. "
