It was January 19, 1988. The waters were calm and the skies
cloudless as five fishermen set off on a week-long trip off the
Costa Rican coast. Five days later, their twenty-nine-foot wooden
craft was foundering against thirty-foot waves as a dreaded north
wind -- El Norte -- struck with full force. Set adrift in a badly
leaking vessel, they faced the perils of more storms, shark
attacks, near-madness, a mutiny, and bouts of starvation and
thirst. Continuously bailing, the five men endured a record 142
days lost at sea -- until they were rescued 4,500 miles across the
Pacific Ocean.
