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 signalled for rescue. They have
prayed, meditated, and kept their spirits up. They have found strength in themselves and in their companions.
They have lived to tell their stories.

injury. They have gone mad, given up, or drowned. They have vanished without a trace, leaving behind only
