When Snook is allowed, for once, to sail on BLUE FIN he faces a terrifying disaster. A waterspout engulfs the ship, the deck is swept clean, the radio and rudder are wrecked, the engine is disabled, the crew is lost overboard and Snook s father lies unconscious down below. Snook is on his own, far out to sea
