Summary

"Sunken Ship Survival" is a vital guide for anyone venturing onto the water, offering critical knowledge to navigate the unthinkable: a sinking ship. The book details how to handle those crucial first moments, teaching readers to send effective distress signals and safely deploy emergency equipment like life rafts. Did you know that understanding wave patterns can help you navigate toward potential rescue? Or that collecting rainwater is far more efficient with a simple homemade tarp?

 
The book then transitions to long-term survival at sea, covering essential skills such as water purification, food procurement, and celestial navigation. The psychological aspect of survival is also addressed, emphasizing the importance of maintaining morale and managing fear.

 
Readers will learn how to apply these techniques through practical checklists and real-life case studies, preparing them for both the physical and mental challenges of maritime disasters. This book’s strength lies in its accessible, hands-on approach, making complex concepts understandable to a broad audience. By integrating historical lessons with modern survival protocols, "Sunken Ship Survival" equips readers with the knowledge and skills to turn a maritime disaster into a story of survival. From understanding emergency procedures to fostering psychological resilience, this book provides a comprehensive roadmap for facing the ultimate challenge at sea.

    Following the birth of their daughter, Jack McClure and his wife Alana had every intention of continuing their life of adventure. After an extensive hiking trip in the desert southwest, they found that having a baby with them was no excuse to stay home and dream of adventures that could’ve been. With lofty ambitions, they set their sights on thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Canada to Mexico as a family, beginning when their daughter was 9 months old. What followed was a 1,500 mile odyssey filled not only with primeval forests and sweeping mountain vistas but also countless lullabies, hundreds of diaper changes and innumerable tears shed. 
Sparking warmth and inspiration, You Carry the Tent, I’ll Carry the Baby paints a vivid picture of the joys and numerous stressors of one family’s experience raising an infant on their terms, all while hiking twenty miles a day for months on end, in a journey that challenges them every step of the way.

    "When people ask why I joined the Coast Guard, I respond that I was twenty-two, blond, and fit. In most military services that is guaranteed sexual harassment. Why not join the one with the ocean breeze?" 
Caroline's journey from enlisted Coast Guard member to CIA analyst includes boot camp, Hamptons yachters named Gary, meaning making in Guantanamo Bay, and a session with a Veterans Affairs-assigned therapist who has fourteen cats, one of which cures migraines. She takes you from serious topics of sexual harassment and suicide to laughing about how her predator's moment to make her prey was oddly interrupted. You are a fly on the wall during her botched FBI polygraph and will be scratching your head about her CIA classmate who U-turns during their surveillance-detection training like she just saw a sign for a sale at Macy's.
