I began to cry when he said I saw land finally. So many bounties we have around are unknown to us, land is one among them and to bow on land for a moment and thank God, nothing can be more better in the most down to earth position. He is a real hero and a living legend. May God keep him safe and happy forever.❤

“A view of heaven from a seat in hell.” It’s amazing what beautiful quotes come from great turmoil and suffering.

[andys]

Steven's story is one of the most remarkable and heroic I've seen on this channel.

The Human Spirit to survive is amazing. Steve, I highly doubt you’ll see this but you are an amazing human.

I would be stuck in the endless forest for 1 year than out at sea for 1 week. Just the fact that I’m restrained to a 6 foot fragile circle surrounded by guaranteed death would give me a heart attack. Let alone looking in the eyes of a shark knowing it could easily horrifyingly manhandle and dismember me while drowning me simultaneously. Dudes a legend

[felsner]

He was saved by a combination of willpower, wits, and stamina. What a man!

[marydebiase]

He was incredibly resourceful in finding ways to stay alive

[taha]

shout out to the camera man who's been with him the entire journey

[Alf-Garnish]

incredible story. Up there with the greatest survival stories of all time.

[ltraina]

I loved that book and movie “the life of pi”…so good! Now I want to read “Adrift”.
What I love is, you could meet this dude on the street and have NO idea that he has this incredible story that he experienced, no idea of what a badass survivor he is. That’s why I always love to talk to people and hear their stories….you just never know…maybe that little old lady was a WASP during WWII, or maybe that man with an accent has a story of escaping his war-torn country and saving his neighbors too.

This is one of the most amazing survival story I've ever heard. God was with this man, thankfully he was incredibly intelligent and resourceful with what he had.

[smkei]

the fact that after so long being at sea and fighting the odds to finally be found by fishermen, when he fell on the sand finally at land it even shook my heart. nobody can imagine what going through this is like having such times of no hope and then suddenly using the human brain to fix, repair, survive and get ideas leading to survival. humans are amazing and i hope this man got to live his life after this horrifying experience which hopefully taught him some good too!

[nateb]

This was one of the first books i ever read by choice, incredible. You hear about peoples kids being their driving force to survive. Steve just had no quit (as i remember it)

[felixcat]

One can only admire the sheer willpower that it must have taken simply to remain alive for so long in such a hostile, dangerous and exposed environment!

Mr. Callahan's inventiveness, together with his ability to find the means to keep going psychologically and physically irrespective of his despair and severely malnourished and dehydrated condition is testimony to the magnitude of his humanity and his love of life and of his beloved family.

His is a story way beyond what any Sailor could ever imagine might befall them aboard a small sailboat at sea!

Whilst it's true that he learned a considerable amount about every aspect of liferaft design and construction, catching fish, distilling water, food and water management, improvisation and isolation, the thing that he learned the most about above all others, was himself!

[patriciawickholm]

This delightful gentleman was very good at telling his incredible story!!! Who knew a life raft had an expiration date? lol

[mohammadbazzi]

Such a brave man. I salute him for survive. God bless him. I would Thank those 2 guys who came to Rescue him. Special Thank to the guys who Rescue steven.

[basicburrito]

This should be an advertisement for that life raft

[shannonelizabethkelley]

This story was incredible..75 days on the ocean .WOW. not to mention he followed the currants estimating where land would b and then wrote a book and was the inspiration for a movie.truly a miracle!!

[seastoriesandsciencefictio]

Adrift is one of the great sea stories of all time. I really enjoyed reading Steven Callahan's book because I'm a total nut for sea stories. It was so impressive, I wrote a blog post about it and made a video book review on my YouTube channel.

[Leoable]

Having been an outdoorsman myself, I recall being very absorbed in reading his book in the late 80's. Great to now see a video of Steven relaying his story so many years later.
