Synopsis

The heart-stopping memoir, soon to be a major motion picture starring Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin, and directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest).Young and in love, their lives ahead of them, Tami Oldham and her fiancé Richard Sharp set sail from Tahiti under brilliant blue skies, with Tami’s hometown of San Diego as their ultimate destination. But the two free spirits and avid sailors couldn’t anticipate that less than two weeks into their voyage, they would sail directly into one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in recorded history. They found themselves battling pounding rain, waves the size of skyscrapers, and 140 knot winds. Richard tethered himself to the boat and sent Tami below to safety, and then all went eerily quiet. Hours later, Tami awakened to find the boat in ruins, and Richard nowhere in sight.Adrift is the story of Tami’s miraculous forty-one-day journey to safety on a ravaged boat with no motor and no masts, and with little hope for rescue. It’s a tale of love and survival on the high seas-- an unforgettable story about resilience of the human spirit, and the transcendent power of love.

Well this was a very quick read. Finished it in a day or 2. This book was on my wish list for quite a long time and finally bought it.

Goodreads review by Leftbanker on December 07, 2022

I’ll start off with praise for the book. The story is simply amazing and the woman will go down in history as one of the most tenacious survivors at sea. Just her navigational skill is something to be admired by 21st century sailors who rely on the whims of the electronic world. She was a little slo......more

Goodreads review by Alex on July 15, 2018

Una totale e completa delusione 🤦🏻‍♀️ Questo libro è stato una delusione su tutta linea: stile e terminologia noiosa e difficile da comprendre, a meno che non siate tipo capitan Findus, non capirete una beata mazza di tutto il frasario marittimo... poi lei è uno spirito libero e bla bla... ma a me è......more
