Choosing what to watch night after night the flicking through the endless

searching is a nightmare we want to help you on our brand new podcast off the

telly we share what we've been watching

Cladie Aide.

Load to games, loads of fun, loads of screaming.

Lovely. Off the telly with me Joanna Paige.

And me, Natalie Cassidy, so your evenings can be a little less

searching and a lot more auction listen on BBC sounds. Hello and

the BBC World Service with me Alex Last

and today we go back to 1982 and a remarkable story of survival as we hear from Stephen

Callahan, a solo Atlantic sailor who survived in a life raft adrift in the ocean for 76 days.

The night I lost the boat it was blowing up into a gale and finally laid down to actually get some sleep in about an hour later as it bam on the side of the boat. It was very loud and water just came gushing in and I'm not I'm talking like

fire hydrant open kind of gushing in. So I thought the boat was going straight down, being full of water.

Fortunately for me, when waves weren't passing and sweeping over the whole thing,

the whole forward half of the boat roughly was underwater but the back was up a little bit and

that gave me my only chance of actually getting out of the boat and so I did I got up to the deck and

inflated the life raft and floated it off to the side of the boat and jumped in.

Then it became obvious that the boat wasn't going to sink right away at least.

And I knew I was virtually in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

The equipment that was packed in the raft, my chances of survival were basically zero.

So I pulled back up to the boat and got on board and dove down,

made a number of dives to get a ditch kit that had some pretty vital equipment in it.
