Steven Callahan - Adrift passaround

[gorilla]

hi everyone
i've got a well read copy of steven callahan - adrift, 76 days lost at sea. i've read it about half a dozen times over the years, so i thought i'd offer it for a passaround for anyone who hasn't read it yet.
PM me and i'll send it off

[Bushcraft4life]

Yes please mate. PM sent

[Greg]

Is that the guy who was in the Sea Survival episode of RM's Extreme Survival series?
If so can you put me in the queue for the pass around please.

I wont be long reading it ! - the twins have me up till all hours at the moment feeding, so im flying through books while doing that.

This is an exceptional book, one that will interest you to the point that you will probably seek other books out in the same topic. Maurice and Maralyn Bailey wrote a book that is very good, and there is another called Red sky in mourning. That is about a woman who is left unconcious on a boat and her boyfriend swept overboard in a storm. She needs to jury rig a new mast and all other manner of things. Based on a true story. Aslo, dougal robertson has wrote a book or two, one of which is quite expensive these days!

i had a proof copy of dougal robertsons book years ago - 'survive the savage sea' i think it was called?
one of those things that now i think 'wonder what happened to that?'

Loz - just sent book today - sorry for the delay - i couldn,t find the book - turned up under my daughters bed with a few other bits i'd lost - she's a bit of a magpie!

Just like to add that 2 of the best books I've ever read about survival at sea are
Death Raft by Alexander McKee and
Desperate Voyage by John Caldwell.
