The book on the other hand is well worth reading. The tension is all set
with the meteorologists and the development of the storm - recommended.

The book is also partly fiction, particularly in regard to the fate of
the small yacht portrayed.

See http://world.std.com/~kent/satori/ for the true story. The boat
survived, was recovered and hauled off a beach, repaired and sailed
for many years by its skipper until being sold. It's still sailing
today.
