Synopsis
When Skip Strong, the thirty-two-year-old Captain of the 688-foot oil tanker Cherry Valley received the call, all he knew was that an ocean going tug with five men aboard was in distress off Florida's east coast. Caught in an unusually powerful storm, the tug's engines failed, and as the winds gusted to more than sixty miles per hour and the sea whipped into a frenzy, the tug--and the barge it was towing-- were in danger of being swept ashore.Captain Strong also knew that he would follow the age-old tradition of sea rescue. Coming to the aid of the crew, the tug, and its cargo, he would have to maneuver his ship--laden with 10 million gallons of oil-- in extremely hazardous conditions. One mistake and Strong would be responsible for an ecological disaster on Florida's beaches equal to that of the Exxon Valdez. What Captain Strong didn't know was that the tug was carrying a 150-foot aluminum fuel cell worth upwards of $50 million. And that in the instant he decided to rescue the tug and its crew, he was opening the door on a dramatic and tense legal struggle that would pit him against the United States Government for salvage rights., When Skip Strong, the thirty-two-year-old Captain of the 688-foot oil tanker Cherry Valley received the call, all he knew was that an ocean going tug with five men aboard was in distress off Florida's east coast.

- 0***j (177)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoAfter paying for the items I contacted the seller to see if I could arrange special shipping instructions. I was going on vacation for a week and asked the seller if he would be willing to ship the items to me after I returned from vacation. The seller was very nice and professional and told me it wouldn't be a problem. The items arrived at my house about 4 days after I came home from vacation. I really appreciated the extra effort he put forth to accommodate me and my schedule. Great job. Thx.
- y***e (1315)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimo annoAcquisto verificatoA very fair and diligent seller. Item well packaged, promptly posted, came fast, even with the holidays, and arrived early. When discovered the item was not quite in the condition listed, once notified the seller made a very fair and equitable price adjustment. How refreshing - an honest seller who stands behind their wares. I would gladly patronize this seller again, and cannot recommend them highly enough! :-)A Charlie Brown Religion : Exploring the Spiritual Life and Work of Charles M (N° 356110166719)
