  • When food is life or death In Survival Stories, Fish Bacon for breakfast, broadcast in 2016, presenter Emily Thomas spoke to Steve Callahan from the United States.

  • I'm probably best known for being dumb enough to lose my boat in the middle of the Atlantic and spending the next two and a half months drifting about 2,000 miles and learning to live like an aquatic caveman.

  • It happened in 1982, when he was 29.

  • In the aftermath of divorce and business problems, Steve had decided to follow a dream to build a boat to cross the North Atlantic Ocean.

  • He did it on his return journey, however, eight days from the Canary Islands.

  • As he headed towards the Caribbean, something struck the boat and it began to sink.

  • Steve inflated a life raft and grabbed whatever he could from the cabin, knowing it would likely be weeks before anyone found him.

  • I had a can of peanut, can of beans, I think it was a half a cabbage and basically not much else.
