description: THE SINKING is a re-release of Debbie's riveting experience told in UNTAMED SEAS and ALBATROSS. The book was renamed, reformatted, and updated to include pictures of the actual rescue taken by the doctor aboard the Russian freighter that plucked Debbie and Brad out of the sea.One late autumn day in 1982, the fifty-eight-foot yacht, TRASHMAN, set sail on a routine trip from Annapolis to Florida, with Deborah Scaling and four others aboard. When the boat sailed into a seventy-knot gale, it went down quickly, leaving the crew adrift in the Atlantic in a rubber dinghy that was quickly surrounded by sharks. Five harrowing days and nights later, when a Russian freighter finally came to their rescue, only two crew members remained. Powerful, adrenaline-charged, utterly consuming. "THE SINKING" is a brave, unforgettable story that plunges to the depths of the human psyche and surfaces with the strength to survive.
