Steve Callahan Survived 76 Days Adrift at Sea

Steven Callahan survived 76 days adrift in the Atlantic after his boat was struck by a whale. Using limited supplies, he relied on his ingenuity, creating a sextant for navigation and a system to collect rainwater. He coped with isolation by splitting his personality into 'captain' and 'crewman.' His raft became an ecosystem, attracting fish and sharks. Despite numerous failed rescue attempts, he was eventually saved by fishermen. Post-rescue, Callahan contributed to survival techniques and advised on the film 'Life of Pi.' His memoir, 'Adrift,' became a bestseller.
