"It was the summer of 2009, my father, a U.S Navy Seal decided to take me along on one of his voyages across the Pacific ocean." "It was hurricane season and day by day, the waves were getting taller and stronger." "We lost electricity along with all other connections with the other ships." "On the night of August 30th, (which also happens to be my birthday) the ship was swamped." "The consant crashes of waves on the main deck was obviously horrifying in the eyes of a young boy such as my self." "My dad wouldnt stop yelling and saying we need to get on a life boat, and I was going to do anything to get on that life boat." "Me, my dad, and some of his crew rushed onto the lifeboat." "Not until later on after the storm did we discover that we left without food or water." "Three days went by and we finally reached land." "It was a stranded island somewhere in Indonesia, uncivilized, but well equipped with supplies." "We built huts for us to live in, we build animal and fish traps, tools, and we had a good source of fresh water from the pond on the top of the mountain." "At night, the temperatures dropped greatly so we built a large fire." "Unexpectedly, the smoke turned out to be our savior." "The Indonesian Coast Guards saw the fire and they came to rescue us." "When we got back to the mainland, I had lost 18 pounds in the two weeks that we were on the island, my clothes, were ripped, and my skin was minorly sunburned." "Atleast now, I am safe at home with my family in Michigan."
