Interesting story of survival.

3 men out fishing had their boat capsize on them and after about 18 hours in a life raft, made it to shore where they survived for 10 days before being rescued. Although there were many mistakes made and there are plenty of lessens to be learned, the bottom line is that they survived and did some things right and now are able to share their story. There is also an audio interview link on the page which runs about 9 minutes and gives more details.

I have always thought that if I were to be stranded and had to survive, that a shoreline offers many opportunities to enhance the odds of survival...
