Eye of the Storm Hurricanes, Adventures and Shipwreck in the Caribbean A man trying to reconnect with his parents on a sailing trip is caught in the path of a hurricane. At a remote Caribbean island, facing imminent shipwreck, the author finds himself struggling to survive inside the eye of the storm. A true story.

It is about the associations that have been formed around this boat and the life-long friendships that developed through their common interest in sailing. Not just sailing; sailing an Alberg 30
