Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
US sailors
rescued after five months adrift in Pacific
How did two
humans and two dogs survive in a small sailing boat in the open sea for five
months? What did they drink and eat?
Though it was
unfortunate that the engine of their boat was damaged and broken when it was
hit by a storm, the sailorwomen had been well prepared to survive in such a
helpless situation. They had a water purifier to make sea water drinkable. That
really was a lifesaving device, wasn’t it? They also stocked enough dried food,
such as oatmeal and pasta to live for a year or longer. Were they expecting
worse situation than this?
Yet they had
life-keeping water and food, there were life-threatening incidents during the
voyage. Two shark attacks. Fortunately, the boat was too large for the sharks
to capsize or break apart. Phew! They didn’t seem to have been suffered major diseases
or physical problems when they were rescued by a US navy vessel, including the
dogs.
Learning from
their experience; Be prepared. You never know what could happen during your
voyage. Don’t lose your hope.
Enjoy reading
and thinking how prepared you are for your next journey or event.
