John Falk wrote an amazing piece for National Geographic Adventure (August/September ‘09) titled One Rogue Wave: A Fishing Trip Goes Horribly Wrong. It’s part of National Geographic Adventure’s How to Survive Almost Anything ’09 series.
It’s long but it’s a powerful story of survival at sea that every mariner should read.
