The terrifying true story of a fight for survival for 28 hours in shark-infested waters.
October, 8, 2022. Three friends are fishing for red snapper when their boat, tied to an oil rig, begins taking on water and sinks 15 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico. Suddenly, the three men find themselves in a struggle for their lives. Their vessel succumbs to the building seas so quickly that the fisherman are unable send out a radio Mayday call, and their cell phones have no reception. They only have time to don their life jackets and hold onto a cooler as they are swept further out to sea. They vow to stay together no matter what and must make several life or death decisions. Suffering from hypothermia and severe stings from giant jelly fish, the men desperately try to stay afloat as they realize there are circling sharks below. In Deep Water is an hour by hour account of a desperate and determined struggle for survival, as well as the Coast Guard's all-out effort to find the missing men. This fast-paced story has a number of surprising turns in both the survival ordeal and the rescue efforts. Based on interviews with the three survivors and the crew of the Jayhawk helicopter who rescue them, In Deep Water is a white-knuckle tale of bravery and brotherhood and a battle against the ocean's deadliest predators.Languages:EnglishPublisher:St. Martin's PressISBN-13:9781250406224ISBN-10:1250406226UPC:9781250406224Book Category:Nature, History, Biography & AutobiographyBook Subcategory:Natural Disasters, Maritime History & Piracy, SurvivalSize:8.50 x 5.74 x 1.11 inchesWeight:0.39Product ID:SCJA7863PB
