438 Days: An Extraordinary True Story of Survival at Sea

Declared the best survival book in a decade by Outside Magazine, 438 Days recounts the astonishing true story of a man who survived fourteen months adrift in a small boat that drifted seven thousand miles across the Pacific Ocean. In November 2012, Salvador Alvarenga and his crewmate left Mexico for a short fishing trip, only to be struck by a violent storm that pushed them far out to sea. Fourteen months later, Alvarenga washed ashore on a remote Pacific island, weak, disoriented, and barely able to speak. Based on extensive interviews with Alvarenga, rescuers, islanders, and medical experts, 438 Days delivers a gripping and unforgettable study of resilience, willpower, and the extraordinary ingenuity required to endure more than a year lost at sea.
