Howorth, Francis; Howort, Michael, The Sea Survival Manual- Foreword by Steven Callahan, Sheridan House After the hurricane hit, after Oldham tries to drag herself from the pit of despair, plagued with thoughts of suicide, there’s a point where she steels herself for what’s to come.
As I look out of the raft, I see God's face in the smooth waves, His grace in the dorado's swim, feel His breath against my cheek as it sweeps down from the sky. I see that all creation is made in His image." This book is absolutely amazing. Poetically written with beautiful photography and illustrations and full of information and facts. Not just about the Tokio Express lego spill but about plastic in our oceana. I´d wanted to read this book for ages for a mixture of reasons. I like a decent survival story but mainly I am fascinated by the open ocean - the vast, scary scale of it. The idea of falling off a boat and being lost in the middle of that endless blue desert, with all that´s in it and above it, is a thought which fascinates, terrifies and amuses me. So I wanted to read this book to find out what Steven Callahan made of it - after all, he did it. Robertson, Douglas (2005), The Last Voyage of the Lucette, Woodbridge, Suffolk: Seafarer Books, ISBN 1-57409-206-5Callahan writes with a naturally engaging style that should have no trouble holding the reader's attention. The formatting of the book is akin to a journal, and the narrative proceeds in a chronological fashion; with a day-to-day account of his time at sea. The book also contains many illustrations, which were done by the author. A nice touch; as they added some interesting context to the broader story. She began visiting the Coast Guard office every day, asking about where her daughter was. She heard nothing about the hurricane, she only heard from Ashcraft two months after she had set sail. Life after the hurricane
The author touches on a variety of topics, such as education, income inequality, healthcare, and more. For each chart, he writes a paragraph or so describing it. I would have preferred a more in-depth l Left with only a sextant, a navigational instrument, and a watch to help her navigate the 1,500 miles to Hilo, Hawaii she suffered not just from hunger but also a head injury and a severely damaged boat. If I was going to live, let’s get to living” that inner voice told her. It’s an adage she continues to live by.Dorados ( aka Mahi Mahi) also rammed the raft regularly, too. Callahan mentions that this happened multiple times per day. Jesus Christ... During his journey, Callahan experienced a few positive elements aside from suffering, describing the night sky at one point as "a view of heaven from a seat in hell". He still enjoys sailing and the sea, which he calls the world's greatest wilderness. Since his survival drift, he's made dozens of additional offshore passages and ocean crossings, most of them with no more than two other crew.
US Patent 6684808 – Boat stability and directional-control device, 2004-02-03, archived from the original on 2007-09-11 , retrieved 2007-08-16 Callahan departed from Newport, Rhode Island, United States, in 1981 on the Napoleon Solo, a 6.5-metre (21ft) sloop he designed and built himself, single-handedly sailed the boat to Bermuda, and continued the voyage to England with friend Chris Latchem. He had left Cornwall that fall, bound for Antigua as part of the Mini Transat 6.50 single-handed sailing race from Penzance, England, but dropped out of the race in La Coruña, Spain. Bad weather had sunk several boats in the fleet and damaged many others including Napoleon Solo. Callahan made repairs and continued voyaging down the coast of Spain and Portugal, out to Madeira and the Canaries. He departed from El Hierro in the Canary Islands on January 29, 1982, still headed for Antigua. In a growing gale, seven days out, his vessel was badly holed by an unknown object during a night storm, and became swamped, although it did not sink outright due to watertight compartments Callahan had designed into the boat. In his book, Callahan writes that he suspects the damage occurred from a collision with a whale.

In real life everything was broken, smashed and scattered, the cabin was half-full of water, the masts were broken clear off and the sails were waterlogged and floated useless nearby. It felt mean and unnecessary. My feelings were right cause in the end she wrote about his parents who are English....That they were cold because they did not show their emotions in front of her"That pissed me of to no end.

Harkavy, Jerry, " 'Adrift' author: Dinghy would have eased ordeal", Burlington Free Press , retrieved 2007-08-16 [ dead link] It wasn't until the 2018 movie that I first heard about Tami Oldham's miraculous survival tale, the film inspired me to get the original memoir. Later she wrote how pissed she was that Richard's brother in law did not want to sell his boat or the price she wanted so apparently there is some bad blood there.
