Speaking Schedule for Overboard!

March 22, 2010

Overboard! Newest book from Michael Tougias!

My newest book Overboard! has been released!  This book is about a 2005 sailing disaster when a captain and first mate were swept off a sailboat, leaving three newer sailors on the sinking boat.  The story follows both the two in the water and the three on the boat as they fight for survival in the Atlantic.  Not everyone survives, and the Captain dies in the arms of the First Mate, who ties his body to him and vows to bring the body home if he lives. The story is quite inspirational, and the reader learns some valuable mindsets of how to make decisions under pressure.

The subsequent rescue by the Coast Guard was so dangerous it was selected as the Search and Rescue Case of the Year, from among thousands.

My speaking schedule is below – please come and join us!  Thanks to all!

    What a great story, “Overboard” I had trouble putting it down. I never
    knew much about the Coast guard until I read your books. It was
    like I could hear the wind howling and the waves crashing down.It was
    fantastic! i felt worn out too, after all they went through.
    A few years ago I went to Bermuda on a liner, we hit the end of a hurricane crossing the Gulf Stream. I was glad to be in a large boat.

    Many thanks. Ellie Gay
