Each new edition of his book (which became the classic \u003cem\u003eHeavy Weather Sailing\u003c\/em\u003e) included new stories, leaving in its wake a unique archive of compelling accounts of survival, just as relevant today as they were 50 years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this new book, Pete Goss MBE (sailing legend, adventurer and author of \u003cem\u003eClose to the Wind\u003c\/em\u003e) and Martin Thomas (the current editor of \u003cem\u003eHeavy Weather Sailing\u003c\/em\u003e) bring together the very best of these accounts: they show how to cope when everything goes wrong, and how to improve your chances of making it through the other side. They are as practical as they are hair-raising, with added commentary explaining survival techniques that require knowledge and confidence as much as experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInto the Storm\u003c\/em\u003e is the perfect read for anyone drawn to the most extreme ocean conditions, the incredible tenacity of the skippers and crew, and the lessons they learned in the eye of the storm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA West Countryman and former Royal Marine, Pete Goss is no stranger to adventure and is perhaps best known for his heroic rescue in horrendous conditions of a fellow competitor in the 1996\/7 Vendee Globe round the world race. Pete's adventures not only include numerous seafaring challenges, having previously competed in six transatlantic and two Round-the-World races, but other challenges such as polar exploration and kayaking. Pete is the author of the best-selling book about his yachting adventures, \u003cem\u003eClose to the Wind\u003c\/em\u003e (Headline), where Pete shares his adventures, thoughts, hardships and philosophy during and throughout the ten years of preparation for the 1996 Vendee Globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartin Thomas is the former Commodore of the Ocean Cruising Club, and is currently the Vice-Commodore of the Royal London Yacht Club.
