Adrift: Seventy-Six Days Lost At Sea

I wish I could say more about this book than I am about to, but here it goes. First off, I don't know much about boats or fishing, but I do know I'm terrified of the ocean for reasons like this book! Being pulled out to sea or having your boat crash and then having to live off of what you can catch and distilling your own water for 76 days while open sores cover your body and sharks surround you, waiting. No. Thank. You. This book is an adventure that's for sure. - I'm not ruining the book by telling you the ending, don't worry - after finally being recovered by fishing boats off the coast of Guadalupe, Steven refuses to get on a plane with his family and instead hitchhikes on BOATS the entire way back to Maine. Because who needs to learn a lesson, anyhow? The only word going through my head as I was reading that was, "idiot!" I hate to be that way, but why on Earth would you put yourself back into that situation?! Are you trying to prove to the ocean that it didn't win this time? Why risk it? Anyhow, this was in 1982, many people have been lost at sea, one recently recovered after being lost at sea for 42 days also only eating what he could catch. If you don't want to read the book, there is a series called, I Shouldn't Be Alive, and Steven Callahan's story is on there. This story is also Google-able. Decent book, though I wouldn't read again. 7/10 ⭐
