Red Sky In Mourning: The True Story of a Woman's Courage and Survival at Sea

Tami Oldham Ashcraft, who speaks fluently about her experiences, continues to be an avid sailor and is a 100-ton licensed captain with over 50,000 offshore miles. She lives in Friday Harbor, Washington.

Expert sailor Tami Oldham Ashcraft describes how love united her with British seafarer Richard Sharp. After their engagement, the couple sets off from Tahiti to San Diego to deliver a magnificent sailboat for its owners. After 20 days at sea, somewhere near Central America, a hurricane encircles them. The boat capsizes, and Richard is lost at sea. Although a novice narrator, Ashcraft's inner strength is revealed as she spellbindingly relives those 42 excruciating days navigating the sea-ravaged sailboat while desperately trying to maintain her sanity.
