BOOKS Mitchell's Book Corner 54 Main Street, 228-1080 "Fatal Forecast" by Michael J. Tougias On November 21, 1980 a colossal storm was brewing, the only weather buoy on Georges Bank, the bountiful but perilous fishing ground 130 miles off Cape Cod, was malfunctioning, and the National Weather Service had failed to share this fact with the Cape Cod fishermen who depend on its forecast. This is the set-up for "Fatal Forecast" by Michael J. Tougias , a meticulously researched and vividly told true story, which is by turns tragic, thrilling and inspiring. A must read for all sea story enthusiasts.
