This has come up over and over. The book is not fiction. What
happened to Satori after the storm has nothing to do with the book,
which describes the CG tug struggling at 3 knots to get there.

Rodney, the book is not fiction but even the author conceded that he
needed to have done more work verifying some of the information. His
most grievous lapse was in failing to interview the owner of the
Andrea Gail, who comes in for a lot of criticism in the book, all of
it second hand. .

He didn't bother interviewing the owner of Satori, either. Even after
there were complaints made about how he had misrepresented events he did
not bother to interview him. He did add in later editions that the
sailboat survived, but was not diligent enough to even verify which
state it came ashore in, getting that wrong too. These are mistakes and
omissions of careless disregard. No excuse.
