In June 2002, Richard Van Pham sets sail from Long Beach to Catalina. On the way, he runs into a storm which is cast adrift. On September 17, 2002, some 200 miles off of the coast of Costa Rica, the men up to speed the USS McClusky receive their first search and rescue mission. They arrive an hour later to find a 24-foot sailboat with a broken mast and hull, covered with birds. The crew doesn't see any sign of human life, and hope is looking dim, when 62-year-old Van Pham emerges from the sailboat's cabin. Van Pham has been stranded at sea for four months, living on rainwater and catching fish for food. The sailboat that has been Van Pham's home for four months is at such poor condition that the Navy is forced to sink it. Be there as this gentleman's amazing story of survival unfolds.
