JOHN KRETSCHMLER AT THE MERCY OF THE SEA HURRICANE WITH IN SOUTH AFRICA

THE TRUE STORY OF THREE SAILORS IN A CARIBBEAN HURRICANE. A “normal” Caribbean hurricane travels from east to west, but Lenny was anything but normal. Spawned south of Cuba in November , this late-season storm defied all predictions by moving steadily east toward the Leeward Islands. Eventually building almost to Category 5 strength, Lenny squatted for two days between the Virgin Islands and St. Martin, whipping the ocean with 155-mile-per-hour winds and 60-foot seas.
