    How a Shipwrecked Crew Survived 10 Days Lost at Sea

    How a Shipwrecked Crew Survived 10 Days Lost at Sea

    The story of how three crewmen lived more than a week in the middle of the Pacific in a wrecked sailboat with almost nothing.

    On November 25, 2019, Chris Carney and his two-man crew, Pete Brown and Jun “Sumi” Sumiyama, set off from Japan on their way to Hawaii in a 42-foot sailboat, the Coco-Haz III. They had four weeks to cross the world’s largest ocean. The boat’s owner, a retired Japanese dentist, needed the trip done in a hurry—he’d lose a boat slip he’d rented if it didn’t arrive in time. Carney didn’t think they would make it on schedule, even if everything went right. But things went far worse than he imagined when two catastrophes left them stranded in the middle of the sea.

    Here is Carney’s story, as told to Outside. https://getpocket.com/explore/item/h...=pocket-newtab
