Reading " Alone at Sea"

Alone at sea

On 29 January 1982, Steven Callahan left the Canary Islands in a small yacht. 1………………….. But a week later, during an awful storm, something (probably a whale) hit the yacht and made a huge hole in it. 2………………….. He had to act quickly!

Steven got into an inflatable life raft and just had time to get a sleeping bag, a first-aid kit, some food, maps, and a torch from the yacht before it sank. He also managed to get a copy of a book called Sea Survival. 3………………….. But he couldn’t rescue the radio from the yacht.

4………………….. His food ran out after a few days so he had to survive by catching sea-birds, fish and flying fish. He drank rain water which he caught in the raft.

After about two months at sea, the raft was 3,000 km from the place where the yacht sank. 5………………….. But unfortunately they didn’t see him. He was beginning to think that he might not survive. He was starving, exhausted, weak and very thin.

Finally, after 76 days, some fishermen saw the sea-birds that were flying around the raft and took Steven to the island of Guadeloupe. After his terrifying experience, he was finally in the Caribbean!
