newportFILM has announced that it will host a one-night-only screening of 76 Days Adrift, a profoundly immersive documentary that plunges viewers into the heart of one man’s extraordinary survival story.
Steven Callahan, the author of the New York Times bestseller Adrift: 76 Days Lost at Sea, recounts the night of February 4, 1982, when a catastrophic collision with a whale left his boat sinking in the dead of night. With the Atlantic Ocean surging into his vessel, Steven had only moments to grab what he could before launching himself into the dark, unforgiving sea in a life raft, clutching a basic emergency kit.
For an astonishing 76 days, that fragile inflatable raft became Steven’s entire world as he drifted helplessly across the vast expanse of the Atlantic. Forced to confront his deepest fears, limitations, and the raw power of nature, he discovered an inner strength he never knew he possessed.
Executive Producer and lifelong friend of Steven Callahan, Robert F. Sennott will speak at the event. Sail Newport joins as a Community Partner. Big Weather Gear, Latitude Yacht Brokerage, and Safe Harbor Marinas sponsor the event.
