ISBN:  9781628998238 (hardcover : alk. paper) Alternate title:  Four hundred thirty eight days : an extraordinary true story of survival at sea Four hundred and thirty eight days : an extraordinary true story of survival at sea Edition:  Center Point Large Print edition. Description:  350 p., [12] p. of plates ; 23 cm. Summary:  "On November 17, 2012, a pair of fishermen left the coast of Mexico for a weekend fishing trip in the open Pacific. That night, a violent storm ambushed them as they were fishing eighty miles offshore. As gale force winds and ten-foot waves pummeled their small, open boat from all sides and nearly capsized them, captain Salvador Alvarenga and his crewmate cut away a two-mile-long fishing line and began a desperate dash through crashing waves as they sought the safety of port. Fourteen months later, on January 30, 2014, Alvarenga, now a hairy, wild-bearded and half-mad castaway, washed ashore on a nearly deserted island on the far side of the Pacific. He could barely speak and was unable to walk. He claimed to have drifted from Mexico, a journey of some seven thousand miles. An account of one of the most amazing survival stories in modern times and an unforgettable study of the resilience, will, ingenuity and determination required for one man to survive more than a year lost and adrift at sea."--From publisher.
