Brett Archibald - Overboard in the Indian Ocean
Brett Archibald spent 28 hours alone, lost at sea with nothing but his faith, family and friends to guide him.
Brett's impossible story is chronicled in his book Alone: Lost Overboard in the Indian Ocean. His tale starts with a group of lifelong friends celebrating one of their group's 50th birthday.
A case of food poisoning puts Brett on the railing of the ship in a storm as he and friends crossed the Mentawai Strait off Sumatra, Indonesia. At some point, Brett blacked out and was thrown into the ocean.
Once he came to, Brett watched as the ship continued on without him. He waved, yelled but realized, nobody had seen him fall into the ocean. 8 hours after falling, Brett's friends finally realized the horrible truth.
