Gone with the Breeze
A True Story about the Spirit of
Ontario 1
All of the tales are not forgotten.
On June 18, 2004, a glorious and futuristic new vessel, the Spirit of
Ontario 1 (nicknamed "The Breeze") began plying the fresh waters of Lake
Ontario in the Great Lakes between the cities of Rochester, New York and
Toronto, Canada.
After two wild and
tumultuous years which saw the coming and going of two different owners, two
different management companies, and hundreds of crew members and personnel,
the financially troubled service shutdown for good on December 12, 2005.
Gone with the Breeze
traces the ups and downs of this magnificent
high-speed ferry
during its two years
of operation as seen from the crew. Despite its financial failure in 2004,
rebirth in 2005, and subsequent failure, the vessel was a huge success in
the eyes of the
riding public.
Part history, part tribute to the crew, this reflective and
entertaining book provides a humorous and informative behind-the-scenes
read. The epilogue includes the disappointing final days of the
service.
280 pgs, 6x9 soft cover,
8 color and 8 b&w photos.
