438 Days by Jonathan Franklin - 9781509800193
The incredible true survival story of fisherman Salvador Alvarenga &ndash and his recordbreaking fourteen months lost at sea. On 17th November, 2012, Salvador Alvarenga left the coast of Mexico for a twoday fishing trip. A vicious storm killed his engine and the current dragged his boat out to sea. The storm picked up and carried him West, deeper into the heart of the Pacific Ocean. Alvarenga would not touch solid ground again for fourteen months. When he was washed ashore on January 30th, 2014, he had drifted over 9,000 miles. Not one ship stopped for him. He considered suicide on multiple occasions &ndash including offering himself up to a pack of circling sharks. But Alvarenga developed a method of survival that kept his body and mind intact long enough for the Pacific Ocean to spit him up onto a remote palmstudded island. Based on extensive interviews with Alvarenga, his colleagues, search and rescue officials, and the people who saved his life, 438 Days by Jonathan Franklin is an epic, inspirational tale of survival &ndash and one man's incredible story of beating the ultimate odds. For readers of Touching the Void and In the Heart of the Sea.'A fascinating, actionpacked account of longterm survival on the open seas' &ndash Kirkus Reviews | Jonathan Franklin 438 Days : An Extraordinary True Story of Survival at Sea
