I Shouldn't Be Alive (2005)

Episode Overview

Steven Callahan sets sail from El Hierro in the Canary Islands aboard Napoleon Solo, a sloop he built and designed himself. He’s on his way to Antigua as part of the Mini Transat 6.50 single-handed sailing race that starts in Penzance, England. One night, a brutal storm wreaks havoc on his boat, forcing him to abandon ship and escape in an inflatable life-raft he calls Ducky, carrying only limited food and water. For 76 days, he drifts in the Atlantic, battling the harsh elements, evading shark attacks, and dealing with persistent leaks in his raft. It’s a gripping tale of survival against overwhelming odds.
