Send us Fan MailOn this powerful episode of Info On The Go, we begin with the incredible survival story of Tami Oldham Ashcraft—a journey of love, loss, and unimaginable resilience. In 1983, Tami and her fiancé set sail on a dream voyage across the Pacific, only to be struck by a catastrophic hurricane that changed everything. Left alone on a wrecked yacht, 1,500 miles from land and grieving the loss of her partner, Tami navigated the vast ocean for 41 days using only a sextant, a watch, and pure determination.Her story is just the beginning.We then explore the astonishing endurance of José Salvador Alvarenga, who drifted across the Pacific for 438 days; Juliane Koepcke, the teenage girl who survived a mid-air plane explosion and 11 days alone in the Amazon; Poon Lim, who defied death for 133 days on a tiny raft during WWII; and the legendary Unsinkable Sam, the cat who survived three naval disasters. We also revisit the life of Violet Jessop, the woman who lived through the Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic sinkings—and lived to tell the tale. Finally, we dive into the strange maritime mystery of Hugh Williams, the name seemingly destined to survive shipwrecks across centuries.These stories aren't just about survival—they're about the unbreakable will to live. Could you endure the unimaginable? Tune in, and test the limits of the human spirit.Thank You for listening and Stay curious,Kat & WilliamEmail [email protected] you would like to support Info On The Go click the link belowhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2434258/support Or for Patreonhttps://patreon.com/InfoOnTheGo?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkFollow us wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a review.Follow us on Facebook at Info on the Go!https://www.facebook.com/share/g/159DdiptQh/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://infoonthego.buzzsprout.com Being Me Is the Best Thing to Be by Judy Erb tells the story of Honey, a curious little turtle who learns that being herself is the very best thing to be.
