This is an interesting story on survival,one of many.

Three days into its voyage, at 6am on June 4, 1989, a massive wave — so big it roared like a freight train — came out of the darkness and flipped the 6.5 tonne trimaran upside down like a bath toy, trapping the four terrified men in the darkness, sea water pouring in through the open hatch.


From that moment what was an adventure trip to Tonga turned to a struggle for survival as they drifted, lost at sea, for 119 days.
