Welcome to Litsy!

I won this book from Goodreads so thanks but I just couldn't love it at all. I only enjoyed the parts about the shipwreck, the 4 guys and their families but this book had so much unnecessary fillers, it had me skimming through most of it. I honestly hate giving a low review especially when you can tell a author done her research but that's what they ask for🤷‍♀️

In 1984, a ship carrying 4 fishermen out of Montauk did not make it back to port when a major storm suddenly blew up. Instead of trying to imagine what happened, since no one living knows, Fairbanks tells the story of the men and their home, as well as those left behind. I really enjoyed this. And I think the cover is gorgeous.

“On March 22, 1984, the Wind Blown, a commercial fishing boat, departed from Montauk harbor on eastern Long Island around dusk to begin its first trip of tilefish-spring season.”

In March of 1984, a rogue storm resulted in the loss of the Wind Blown & her four man crew to the freezing waters off Montauk, New York. Fairbanks delivers their story in informative, historical pages with atmospheric descriptions & thorough research. The generous back story & wandering anecdotes sometimes lead the book astray. A fairly bumpy & disjointed read that sometimes had me lost & confused about the characters, but did teach me a lot.
