About Berserk: My Voyage To The Antarctic In A

Product Description An unforgettable sailing adventure to the world's most dangerous continent. Review "This is a true story that will leave the reader exhausted. It is a very well written book that explores the possibilities that no one would ever expect to happen, and follows as they become real."-- Latitudes & Attitudes "Some extreme adventure books strike you as so off-the-wall outrageous that you can't believe anybody would take that kind of risk, and you just can't stop turning the pages...Berserk falls into this category with a vengeance."-- Offshore magazine From the Back Cover “THIS IS SUICIDE!” MANUEL SCREAMED FRANTICALLY. “WE’VE GOT TO GO BACK BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!” So begins the amazing true story of three men who shared the dream of going to Antarctica. The crew—a Norwegian captain barely above the age of twenty, an Argentinian newlywed, and the author—made their way from the southern tip of South America through the Roaring Forties and Furious Fifties on a small sailboat in a terrifically difficult mission to see the world’s coldest, most dangerous, and inaccessible continent. In Berserk, author David Mercy brilliantly recounts what it is like to experience the seemingly endless pounding of wind and waves, the solitary four-hour shifts of cold bleak darkness, and the delicate balance of personalities where a potentially murderous mutiny is always in the making. In the tradition of such wonderful yarns as Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air, Mercy deftly weaves the experiences of the sailing trip of a lifetime with humor, personal observations, and the personal inner journey that is the hallmark of all great adventures. About the Author David Mercy is a director and producer of independent films. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
