Being lost at sea is one of the most terrifying experiences a person can face. Imagine being surrounded
by nothing but water, with no land in sight, no help on the way, and no idea how long you will survive.
You have to deal with hunger, thirst, exposure, fatigue, and the constant threat of sharks, storms, or pirates.
You have to cope with the loneliness, the despair, and the fear of never seeing your loved ones again.
You have to hope for a miracle, but also prepare for the worst.
Some people who have been lost at sea have managed to survive by using their skills, their resources,
and their willpower. They have built rafts, caught fish, collected rainwater, and signaled for rescue. They
have prayed, mediated, and kept their spirits up. They have found strength in themselves and their
companions. They have lived to tell their stories.
But others have not been so lucky. They have succumbed to dehydration, hypothermia, infection, or
injury. They have gone mad, given up, or drowned. They have vanished without a trace, leaving behind
