I read that book last month. I decided to drop the idea of being a long-line fisherman. PBS recently did a story on that same storm, but it focused on the effects on the U.S. mainland.

So you were a fisherman yourself, and went through one of those nightmares? Junger's book was scary enough for me. I'm reading a fascinating book right now, it's a Civil War novel written from the perspective of an infantry private. The Black Flower, Howard Bahr. In a way the point of view is quite similar to The Perfect Storm. Individuals trying to cope with a maelstrom, only in this one it's raining canister shot and minnie balls.

A wonderful story, James! I really enjoyed reading about your experience-although it was also terrifying. (Love the part when you all notice your bruises) I'll definitely look for the book and pass it on to my younger son, who is fascinated by the ocean and reads everything he can get his hands on about it. It's so sad for him that we live in Dallas---not exactly oceanfront. Thanks for calling our attention to it! penni
