Goodreads asked David Beaupre:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

David Beaupre The idea for the book actually originated with our friend Marlene Wallace. ‘Quest and Crew’ is a memoir. Marlene asked me what it was like to survive a Category 5 hurricane while my wife and I were on our sailboat Quest. She liked the story so much that she passed it onto a friend who then passed it to a magazine publisher who approached me about running a series of feature articles which eventually was expanded into the book.
