2- Here is a personal endurance adventure on a raft in the ocean by an AMA employee, Daniel Eller, identified only by name and as a Chicago person in “medical sales”.

Imagine being thrown into the Bermuda Triangle with a raft via a simulated boat accident. Some supplies are in the ocean and have to be retrieved. And one more thing: You meet a woman companion for the first time in the raft. The goal is to make it to land. Live off the sea and try to survive. If overwhelming, then use special phone to call for rescue and you fail the challenge. (Water, water, everywhere, …Nor any drop to drink.” Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

This story was featured this past Sunday on National Geographic TV with the title: Season 1, Episode 4 “To The Bone”

There is a second couple in another raft somewhere else in the Bermuda Triangle.

It will be repeated this Sunday evening or you can find it ON DEMAND at the National Geographic Channel.

If you wish to see a small screen version immediately, it is also on YouTube at:

Congratulations, Dan and companion Ceci of the orange raft!
