Many people, who live in urban areas, think that the world is a fixed place with not much change. Not only is this untrue, but it can also cause fear. This fear could lead to over-exposure and vulnerability of being safe and secure. When hunting for fish on a ship or around an island, you need to be prepared for uncharted waters. The author of this book shares how he went adrift at sea for 76 days and lost everything - including his mind.
This is an audiobook. After his boat capsized off the coast of Thailand, he floated in the ocean for more than two months before being rescued by a passing ship. The author chronicles his experience with an honesty that few would be capable of and it's a wild and emotional ride.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, there have been over 42 shipwrecks in the Gulf of Mexico.

Listeners will be helplessly drawn into 76 Days Lost at Sea and feel like they are on board with Captain Daniel Clark and his crew as they battle with waves breaking over twenty feet high and currents running more than fifteen knots.
