About this listen

Part 2: Lost at Sea - Louis Jordan's 66 Days Adrift in the Atlantic When Louis Jordan's 35-foot sailboat disappeared off the South Carolina coast in January 2015, an extensive Coast Guard search yielded nothing. After weeks with no sign of Jordan or his vessel, the search was suspended, and his family held memorial services. Yet 66 days later, the German container ship Houston Express spotted Jordan's damaged boat 200 miles offshore. This episode details Jordan's remarkable survival through violent storms, equipment failures, starvation, and extreme isolation. His methods for collecting rainwater, catching fish, and maintaining psychological stability during two months alone at sea reveal crucial insights into both the physical techniques and mental strategies essential for survival in seemingly hopeless circumstances.
