ബോട്ട് തകർന്ന് 76ദിവസം കടലിൽ ഒറ്റയ്ക്ക് സ്രാവുകളോടും തിരമാലയോടും പോരാടിയ ധീരൻ്റെ കഥ|BS CHANDRAMOHAN
He departed El Hierro in the Canary Islands on January 29, 1982, headed for Antigua.

He collected drinking water from two solar stills and various jury-rigged devices for collecting rainwater, which together produced on average just over a pint of water per day.

Ships did not spot his flares. While adrift, he spotted nine ships, most in the two sea lanes he crossed, but from the beginning, Callahan knew that he could not rely upon rescue but instead must, for an undetermined time, rely upon himself and maintaining a shipboard routine for survival. He routinely exercised, navigated, prioritized problems, made repairs, fished, improved systems, and built food and water stocks for emergencies....
