In Adrift: Seventy-six Days Lost at Sea, Steven Callahan
writes about how he attempted to practice for a sailboat race, but his ship had
broken down due to a heavy storm that occurred at night. As his boat was
sinking, Callahan tried to salvage as many items that he could possibly use as
he could. This led him to trying to survive out in the ocean with minimal
equipment, food, and water. Ultimately, he was forced to become creative in
making tools for catching fish or purifying water.
Overall,
Adrift: Seventy-six Days Lost at Sea was a great book to read, although some parts were less
enjoyable. I liked the book’s deeper meaning. Its message was that we shouldn’t
take the small things in our lives for granted because they could easily be
taken away from us. This is shown with the author, who started as a normal
civilian but had his whole world turned upside down. Considering we are all
living in a pandemic, everyone could use a reminder such as this one, since
life is so short.
