Anyone else ever read Steven Callahan's book Adrift: 76 Days Lost At Sea
Steven Callahan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now that was an adventure I hope I never take on....

Another good read is the story of Tinkerbell a fellow who repaired a wooden 14' sailboat himself in michigan, towed it to new england and sailed it to England. Took him 79 days IIRC. He did it in 1957.
