On July 4, 1999, Marlin Bree sailed out of Grand Portage, Minnesota, planning to cross the Canada/US Border to spend an evening alone on a small island guarding the mouth of Thunder Bay, Ontario. But a terrible storm overtook him with estimated wind downbursts of 138 miles per hour. Fighting for his life and that of his boat, the 20-foot home-built Persistence, the author survived numerous capsizes and a near pitchpole in the storm of the century -- a classic battle of one man against the inland sea. His adventure on Lake Superior is now in the NOAA record books and it is the subject of his book, Wake of the Green Storm: A Survivor's Tale. "Recommended.."--Library Journal. "Equals any oceanic adventure.." San Diego Log.
