Award-winning author Michael Tougias will give a narrated slide 
presentation based on his book Fatal Forecast: An Incredible True 
Tale of Disaster and Survival at Sea.  Using photos taken during the 
height of the storm, the rescue, and the grueling work of offshore 
lobster fishing, Tougias will put the audience with the men on their 
boats during one of the most explosive storms ever to hit George's Bank.

Tougias is a lecturer and award-winning author of 17 books, Fatal 
Forecast was praised by the LA Times as "a breathtaking book, Tougias 
weaves a marvelous and terrifying yarn".  On a lighter note, Tougias 
chronicled his misadventures at his remote cabin in VT in his book 
There's A Porcupine In My Outhouse: Misadventures of a Mountain Man 
Wanna-be, which won the Independent Publishers Association Award for 
the "The Best Nature Book of the Year."
