This week, Joe, Kevin, and Toren look at getting stuck out on the open ocean. We'll cover the several dangers of being lost at sea, as well as tales of survivors of some of the longest (and grossest) "unplanned extended ocean vacations" such as the Baileys, amazing survivor Poon-Lim, and the Robertson family. In The News we've got a religious family set adrift and a survivor found in a capsized tugboat 98 feet underwater! Correction: Joe was wrong, tigers love water.
