Running time: 1 hour and 40 minutes
Imagine yourself at sea, far enough out that you have a 360-degree view of the horizon—a straight line where the water meets the sky, unbroken by any land. Now imagine that you are completely alone, separated from family, friends, and all of the support networks that humans as social beings regularly live with. Now picture that you are in a rubber raft, unable to steer and at the mercy of the wind and current, with a few cans of fresh water, a small amount of tinned food, some knives, a rudimentary survival kit, and one seat cushion that you were able to grab from your sinking boat. It is a level of isolation and vulnerability that, luckily, few of us will ever experience and which Steven Callahan confronted at age 30 when he survived the sinking of a boat, which he designed and built, during a solo transatlantic.
