He told the crew that anyone who did not want to come on the voyage could leave the ship and there would be no hard feelings. No one took the captain up on his offer, and this decision would have fatal consequences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFour days into the voyage, Superstorm Sandy made an almost direct hit on the \u003ci\u003eBounty\u003c\/i\u003e--sending the crew tumbling into the ocean filled with crashing thirty-foot waves. Some were swept far from the ship, others found themselves tangled in the rigging, while others were trapped below the surface by the masts and spreaders. What ensued was one of the most complex, dangerous, and massive Coast Guard rescue missions in history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Michael J.
