Mike writes:
“Our Sept ’03 interview with Capt. Skip Strong has got to be one of the best sea stories you’ll ever hear. ‘In Peril’ is his first hand account of a mayday situation off Florida which resulted in the largest marine salvage in history. An absolutely compelling account of a marine adventure that becomes a legal thriller and even has a sci-fi side– highly recommended. Skip Strong will be at the Belfast Harbor Fest, Aug 20-22, 2010”
