Callahan, Steven

When the author's small sloop sank west of the Canary Islands, he was left adrift on a small raft in the Atlantic for 76 days.

Describes the true experiences of the author, who is forced to survive in an inflatable raft for seventy-six days in the Atlantic Ocean.

Racked by hunger, buffeted by storms, and scorched by a tropical sun, Steve Callahan drifted in the sea for 1,800 miles in an inflatable raft after his small sloop capsized. He survived more than two months at sea, fighting off sharks with a makeshift spear and watching as nine ships passed him by before one finally rescued him.
