Hole in the Ocean: Into the Vortex

from Real Survival Stories · host NOISER

Two men set out from Florida, ferrying a fishing boat to Cancún. It’s a routine job that should take a single day. But nearly 100 miles off the coast, the waters turn against them. Without warning, a yawning chasm opens in the middle of the ocean. Johnny Savage and his captain are caught in a horrifying drama. The radio is dead. The life raft is nowhere to be seen. And the warm, turquoise waters around them are teeming with predators… A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins.
