    Have you read "Adrift"?

    The best sea survival book I've read. Made me break out a yellow legal pad and revise my ditch bag contents list for next year.

    The books been around for a while, but I just got my hands on a copy.

    Steven Callahan is the author. If you like this type of thing, get your hands on it.

    Oh, its non-fiction.
