Lost in the Stream: The Miraculous Story of Two Fishermen Lost at Sea

2022

Synopsis

What goes through someone’s mind when they’re immersed in the open ocean, hypothermic, and either going to drown or be eaten alive by sharks? How does one have the will to survive a mariner’s worst nightmare of being lost at sea?

In Lost in the Stream: The Miraculous Story of Two Fisherman Lost at Sea you’ll be privy to the kind of excruciating choices that mean life or death. With wreckage of the Anhinga floating all around them, Eric Bingham (captain) and Johnny Savage (mate) struggled to survive in the middle of the Gulf Stream after a colossal rogue wave sank their sportfishing vessel. It took decades for Johnny to come to terms with the fact the still voice inside him and people who’d already heard the story were right:

“Johnny, you need to write a book.”

The Anhinga had vanished so quickly there hadn't been time for a distress call, life raft, or emergency beacon. They were microscopic specks, in peril, lost to the power of the restless waves. So how did two fisherman with survival chances close to zero endure being at the mercy of the mighty sea?
