That night, a violent storm ambushed them as they were fishing eighty miles offshore. As gale force winds and ten-foot waves pummeled their small, open boat from all sides and nearly capsized them, captain Salvador Alvarenga and his crewmate cut away a two-mile-long fishing line and began a desperate dash through crashing waves as they sought the safety of port.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFourteen months later, on January 30, 2014, Alvarenga, now a hairy, wild-bearded and half-mad castaway, washed ashore on a nearly deserted island on the far side of the Pacific. He could barely speak and was unable to walk. He claimed to have drifted from Mexico, a journey of some seven thousand miles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA “gripping saga,” (\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eDaily Mail\u003c\/span\u003e), \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e438 Days\u003c\/span\u003e is the first-ever account of one of the most amazing survival stories in modern times.
