A Lone Boat Toward the Deep Blue

Set in an uninhabited stretch of the South Pacific, this is a global typhoon hotspot where ocean currents are complex, such as where the Agulhas Current meets the West Wind Drift. Giant waves, reefs, and sharks lurk in these dangerous waters, along with occasional “remnants of civilization,” such as abandoned shipwrecks and message bottles. Far from the mainland, there is no signal. The only points of reference are the sun, moon, stars, and direction of the waves. Survival depends entirely on experience and luck.
