SUMMARY:Outdoors Book Club: 438 Days
LOCATION:Pier 57
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 30% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nAugust’s selection is 438 Days by Jonathan Franklin.\n\nL
 ocation has been updated to Pier 57.\n\nGenre: Survival\, Adventure\, Nonf
 iction\nPages: ~288\nGoodreads: ★4.1/5\n\nAfter setting out from the Pacif
 ic coast of Mexico on what was supposed to be a routine fishing trip\, fis
 herman José Salvador Alvarenga and his young crewmate are swept far out to
  sea by a violent storm. With their engine dead\, radio destroyed\, and th
 ousands of miles of open ocean surrounding them\, rescue quickly becomes i
 mpossible.\n\nWhat follows is one of the most astonishing survival stories
  ever documented. Adrift for 438 days—more than a year—Alvarenga survives 
 by catching fish with his bare hands\, drinking rainwater\, eating birds a
 nd turtles\, and enduring relentless isolation\, starvation\, storms\, and
  despair. The psychological battle proves every bit as daunting as the phy
 sical one as he struggles to maintain hope while drifting across the Pacif
 ic.\n\nDrawing on extensive interviews and investigative reporting\, Jonat
 han Franklin reconstructs the ordeal in vivid detail while also exploring 
 the controversy surrounding Alvarenga’s incredible claim and the science o
 f extreme human endurance.\n\nFor all book club events\, we ask that parti
 cipants come with an open mind. Opinions shared reflect those of the indiv
 idual\, and we ask that all discussion remain respectful so we can exchang
 e ideas freely and without judgment.
