Two great sea stories

Feb. 10, 2014 issue of the New Yorker magazine has two great articles: One is a profile of Diana Nyad, ocean swimmer who recently swam unaided by shark cage from Cuba to Fla. Two, is "Thicker than water" a nautical nightmare in Nantucket. As a subscriber I'd love to give you a link but the online magazine only provides part of the articles for non-subscribers. Try the local library or better yet buy a copy. The Nantucket story of capsize and rescue of a commercial fisherman and his clients by his father is a cautionary tale of how hubris, unpreparedness and stubbornness conspired to put several lives at risk in an unpredictable sea.
