Query: One of my top five favorites!

I remember finding this book in the public library when I was a teen in the late seventies (the copyright on my paperback copy says 1978) and sitting down to read the first couple of pages. A couple became a few and soon I was completely caught up in the story of Hardin and his wife alone on the sea, blissfully unaware of the wall of steel bearing down on them. I actually had to stifle the impulse to yell at them out loud - LOOK OUT!I've read the book four or five times since then and it gets better with each reading. Scott's ability to transport you into his character's world is second to none. The sailing scenes are told with amazing detail and authority - the man knows what he's talking about.The back cover of my copy says "SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE". It's a crying shame that didn't happen - it would have made a whale of a movie!
