A review by suzharold
Graveyard of the Pacific by Randall Sullivan

adventurous challenging funny informative medium-paced

4.0

Sullivan neatly braids 3 strands - the history of crossing the Columbia River Bar, the difficult and often heartbreaking childhood of himself and his friend Ray, and their crossing of the bar at age 70 in a trimaran - into a compelling and highly readable book. 

I read the book pretty quickly once I switched to hardcover. I had started with the  audio book a few months ago, but the reader mispronounced too many local names and I had to stop by chapter 2. It took me a few months to get back to the title.
