The day is beautiful and the sun
is shining. You decide to go on a short hike to more fully enjoy this
warm day. You know a great spot that many people don’t know about. You
pack lightly as you don’t plan to be out for too long. A few bottles of
water, snacks, cell phone, and MP3 player is with you as you arrive at
your desolate location.
Time passes by quickly as you are enjoying your time and it is almost dark. You decide it’s time to leave but on the way, you trip and fall down a 50 foot cliff, resulting in a broken leg and immobility.
You try to call for help with
your cell phone but it is not getting a signal. Your water and food is
almost out and you won’t survive long out here. What do you do? How
badly do you want to live?
“At sea I am reminded of my insignificance – of all men’s insignificance. It is a wonderful feeling to be so humbled.”
Steven Callahan sailed out from
the Canary Islands on a small slope he built himself. Six days later on
his trip, the boat sank due to damage from a collision with an unknown
object at night.
