Present day Penobscot Bay Pilot Skip Strong describes his rescue of a tug & barge in a mayday situation in a tropical storm off Florida with a loaded oil tanker. This unusual situation resulted in the largest marine salvage award in history because of the very special cargo in the barge. Highly recommended BoatTalk’s greatest hit”

Hosts: Mike Joyce and Alan Sprague Studio Engineer: Joel Mann Mike writes: “Our Sept ’03 interview with Capt. Skip Strong has got to be one of the best sea stories you’ll ever hear. ‘In Peril’ is his first hand account of a mayday situation off Florida which resulted in the largest marine salvage in history. An absolutely compelling account of a marine adventure that becomes a legal thriller and even has a sci-fi side– highly recommended. Skip Strong will be at the Belfast Harbor Fest, Aug 20-22, 2010”
