On the eve of February 4, 1982, in the middle of the night there was a loud boom as a whale collided with Steven’s boat. Within minutes, his small craft was flooded with a rush of water. He grabbed what he could, heaved his life raft into the ocean, and snatched his emergency kit.

Without food or water, for an incredible 76 days the inflatable raft was his home as he drifted completely across the entire Atlantic Ocean. Forced to come to terms with his own shortcomings and limitations and connect with his natural surroundings, Steven finds a strength he never knew he had.
