About this listen
In July 1973, Bob Tininenko, his wife Linda, and his brother in-law Jim Fisher set sail from Tacoma, Washington, on a 31-foot trimaran, down the West Coast to Costa Rica. The journey was expected to take a matter of weeks, but 10 days into the cruise, the party encountered a freak storm off the coast of Northern California. When gale-force winds and 50-foot waves capsized their boat, the voyage became a nightmare.
For 72 days, the trio was lost at sea. Challenged by nature and compromised by a bitter rivalry, their courage and will to live was put to the ultimate test. Jim, the owner and skipper of the boat, was a devout fundamentalist whose recognition of God's will in every event brought him into increasing conflict with his brother-in-law. As the two men battled to take control of a dire situation, Linda kept a secret that would lead to heartrending tragedy.
A "hair-raising" (Houston Chronicle) account of shipwreck and survival and a searing portrait of faith without reason, Lost! is an unforgettable true story from "a writer of tremendous power and achievement" (Detroit Free Press).

Fascinating and enthralling
So much more than a survival story. Thought provoking and enlightening drawing contrast between religious and humanist world views.

3 people on a boat, 1 religious lunatic. 2 dead people.
Really good historical account of the capcizing of a Trimaran and the loss of life and survival of the crew. A gret exqmple of how a person who feels righteously that they "know Gods will", kills people. No spoiler, but suffice it to say, speeding up Gods will, by doing idiotic things, kills people. Secondly, not keeping control of a vessel in a storm resulting in 3 knockdowns in 15 minutes, sinks boats. Bottom line, you had best pick your crewmates based on seamanship skills and rationality, not religious fatalism.

Christian Propaganda
Nautical incompetence meets Noah's Ark - with a little bit of animal cruelty thrown in for good measure. The tyranny of matter confirmed at every level with the pretence of miracle working thrown in. A must read for every fan of US anti-intellectualism and utter stupidity of every level. An excellent platform to demonstrate that sexism and self-delusion can exist side by side in a harmonious manner. I found myself chuckling all the way through - hoping no one would survive but the innocent tuna!
