Berserk My Voyage to the Antarctica in a Twenty-Seven-Foot Sailboat

"THIS IS SUICIDE!" MANUEL SCREAMED FRANTICALLY. "WE'VE GOT TO GO BACK BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!" So begins the amazing true story of three men who shared the dream of going to Antarctica. The crewa Norwegian captain barely above the age of twenty, an Argentinian newlywed, and the authormade their way from the southern tip of South America through the Roaring Forties and Furious Fifties on a small sailboat in a terrifically difficult mission to see the world's coldest, most dangerous, and inaccessible continent. In Berserk, author David Mercy brilliantly recounts what it is like to experience the seemingly endless pounding of wind and waves, the solitary four-hour shifts of cold bleak darkness, and the delicate balance of personalities where a potentially murderous mutiny is always in the making. In the tradition of such wonderful yarns as Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air, Mercy deftly weaves the experiences of the sailing trip of a lifetime with humor, personal observations, and the personal inner journey that is the hallmark of all great adventures.Mercy, David is the author of 'Berserk My Voyage to the Antarctica in a Twenty-Seven-Foot Sailboat', published 2004 under ISBN 9781592282777 and ISBN 1592282776.
