Adrift: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Survival at Sea<\/strong> In the audiobook version of Red Sky in Mourning<\/a>, sailor and author Ashcraft recounts the story of her 41-day ordeal, adrift in the Pacific on a badly damaged sailboat.<\/p>\n The luxury craft\u00a0that she and her fianc\u00e9 were to deliver to its owners in San Diego is battered when overtaken by a category four hurricane, and during the storm her fianc\u00e9 is lost at sea. With main mast broken and electronics rendered useless, she is forced to rely on her essential knowledge of navigation and use of a sextant. Her narrative successfully captures how her sense of loss competes with her sailing skills and survival instinct.<\/p>\n Red Sky in Mourning (2002)<\/p><\/div>\n While the\u00a02018 film adaptation<\/a> is less harrowing than the true story, she states, \u201cI\u2019m just very pleased that it\u2019s being told at a time when there\u2019s such an empowerment of women. […] I think it\u2019s a time to show some of the strengths that women have, that they can overcome all kinds of obstacles in their lives.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adrift: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Survival at Sea by Tami Oldham Ashcraft with Susea McGearhart, narrated by Laurence Bourvard G530.A84 A8 2018 New Arrivals Island, Audiobooks, 2nd Floor In the audiobook version of Red Sky in Mourning, … Continue reading
