She battles with storms, snakes, and interminable days at sea, before finally being intercepted by a Mexican gunboat. Her subsequent incarceration in Mexico\u2019s most infamous prison, La Mesa, is almost more surprising: the treatment she receives and the people she meets become a transformative experience.<\/p>\n<h4>Review:<\/h4>\n<p>\u2018Sailing Into The Abyss\u2019 is not actually about sailing.\u00a0 It\u2019s really about the time the author spent in a Mexican prison after deciding to combine sailing and illegal drugs. In the first third of the book, Bridget Lane gives us an interesting account of the preparation for the trip and the difficulties and hardships they endured before capture.\u00a0 She does this well and even a staunch landlubber like me gets a sense of the freedom of the ocean, despite the unfamiliar nautical terminology.\u00a0 The rest of the story, however, is strictly land-based as Lane and her partner deal with incarceration.\u00a0 This is actually where the book becomes a great read.\u00a0 The insight into life in this prison at this particular time in the eighties is very interesting and I was gripped enough to return to the story at any free moment.\u00a0 If I were to express any overall dissatisfaction it would be that although the author gives us some of her emotional journey I did not connect with her.\u00a0 I awaited regret for her rash decision to no avail and ultimately was left unsympathetic.<\/p>\n<p>Reviewed By Bev Hooper &#8211; Writer<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovesail.com\/ls-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/bookreview.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2551\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.lovesail.com\/ls-news\/book-review-sailing-into-the-abyss-by-bridget-lane\/bookreview\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lovesail.com\/ls-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/bookreview.jpg?fit=189%2C267&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"189,267\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"bookreview\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lovesail.com\/ls-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/bookreview.jpg?fit=189%2C267&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2551 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovesail.com\/ls-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/bookreview-189x145.jpg?resize=189%2C145\" alt=\"book review - sailing into the abyss\" width=\"189\" height=\"145\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Lovesail Book Reviews<\/h3>\n<p>If you are a member of Lovesail and would like to review any books that are due for release or even some older books that you feel are worthy of sharing with other members, then please contact us. \u00a0We would like to review only sailing-related books, but they can be fiction or non-fiction.
