description: When the elements are against you,there is no place to hide.24 stirring, dramatic true tales of adventure on the high seas, from the pages of Motorboating . These riveting, edge-of-your-seat stories tell of heroes who embark on daring missions; of situations fraught with danger; and of maritime disasters that destroy ships and men. And each account comes direct from the very people who lived through the events. Here are a couple lost for more than two months after a pod of whales turn vicious and capsize their boat; somehow they managed to survive on a life raft in the middle of the Pacific. A gutsy 18-year-old woman navigates the globe solo-becoming the youngest person ever to accomplish this feat. In "Heroes," the Coast Guard fights to save three sailors caught in the same horrific weather that inspired The Perfect Storm . Every one is thrilling.
