Synopsis
In one of the most remote parts of the world a small dot floated nearly invisible in the moonless black night. As dawn approached, tropical squalls further obscured this dot, now barely visible even a few feet away. No one was there to see that this dot was a man's head bobbing just above the surface of the inky black water of the desolate Central Pacific.
Adrift for hours, he had been working on the problem of how to survive. No life raft, no water, no food, no supplies, in fact, not even the wreckage of his vessel the Haleakala, remained in the empty sea around him.
Totally alone as few people have been alone, stranded in the middle of the ocean hundreds of miles from islands and people, well over one thousand miles from the nearest rescue center, he floated awaiting sunrise, knowing that this was most likely his last dawn
Charley never recognized the word "impossible." Although shipwrecked and adrift, he accepted the challenge to survive, the greatest and most critical test of his life.
The desperate call for help plus the ensuing most difficult search and rescue mission are interwoven in this true story of a mid-ocean shipwreck, survival, and rescue.
