Saw the movie the other day and it was prety good but what a depressing ending. No happy ending in this one boys!  ::)

Wow.  Looks like we all have more in common then just bows!   :o  I've read half the stuff you are discussing and am writing down the titles of the rest.  ;D

For the other Bowmaking Sailors in the bunch, I recommend In The Heart Of The Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick.  It was the inspiration for Moby Dick.  An actual whale attack that sank a ship, and then the amazing story of the small boat survival.

Dane, I've read River of Doubt.  Interesting, but slow compared to most of the ones the others are talking about.  Endurance is nothing short of an amazing miracle.  The best autobiography I have ever read was Eddie Rickenbacker.  Being a WWI ace was just the tip of the iceberg.  The man lived about 6 amazing lifetimes.  I liked Sailing Alone Around the World too...

     I read the book Coo-wa-chobee is talking about.  That guy was sharp.  I would love to do that.  As for the troublesome young bear he had visit him, he would have been a nice rug near the bed.  I think I also read about the other guy also.  And saw the same PBS program.  Pretty cool.  Oh, and speaking of cool, in one of those books, he shows some of the mountains, at night, and it is still light out, and the mountain, looks, like it's made of ice!
