  • MediaDB / «Adrift: Seventy-six days captive at sea" Stephen Callahan: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 1990 / On the night of January 19, 1982, Stephen Callahan raised the sails on his small yacht, heading from the Canary Islands islands in the Caribbean Sea. Thus was the beginning of the most amazing voyage of our century, which became one of the greatest sea adventures of all time. Six days later, his yacht sank, and Callahan found himself in the middle of the Atlantic on an inflatable raft with a diameter of just over one and a half meters, drifting at the will of the waves and winds, with only about a kilogram of food and four liters of fresh water. This book is a fascinating story by the author, the only person in the history of navigation who spent more than two months alone on a raft drifting on the ocean and managed to survive. This is a story of fear and despair, heroism and hope... The story of a wanderer, who knew the dark abysses of the universe and the human soul - and returned from there to tell about his extraordinary adventures.
