In the dead of night on July 24, 2013, John Aldridge was thrown off the back of the Anna Mary while his fishing partner, Anthony Sosinski, slept below. As desperate hours ticked by, Sosinski, the families, the local fishing community, and the U.S. Coast Guard in three states mobilized in an unprecedented search effort that culminated in a rare and exhilarating success.

A tale of survival, perseverance, and community, A Speck in the Sea tells of one man's struggle to survive as friends and strangers work separately, and together, to bring him home. Aldridge's wrenching first-person account intertwines with the narrative of the massive, constantly evolving rescue operation designed to save him.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

John Aldridge and Anthony Sosinski co-own and operate the Anna Mary, a lobster boat, in the open ocean surrounding Montauk. Best friends for decades, Aldridge and Sosinski are seasoned sailors and fishermen.

REVIEWS:

"A Speck in the Sea is a terrific read-harrowing and inspiring at the same time. In the end it's a moving testament both to our individual will to survive and to our collective will to come to the aid of others in distress. I couldn't put it down."
Daniel James Brown, author of The Boys in the Boat

"Sometimes being a hero means just hanging on and having faith--which is exactly what John Aldridge and Anthony Sosinski did on July 24, 2013. This is an amazing tale of survival, family, community, and friendship from two true American originals."
Paul Tough, New York Magazine

"A robust portrait of working-class Montauk, the Long Island community... richly detailed."
Kirkus Review

"This absolutely riveting book follows the increasingly desperate (and, at times, disorganized) rescue efforts as well as Aldridge's own odyssey (How does a man facing near-certain death keep himself believing he might survive?)... the book is... captivating."
Booklist

"A rich backstory-including complicated personal lives and deep family histories-adds depth to this page turner."
Publishers Weekly

Great cutter!
Color: Yellow
Great cheap cutter/nubber/holder. I keep this in my pocket at all times. I have used the nubber many times, the cutter more times than I can count, and have yet to have a problem with this.

My recent purchase of a keyboard wrist rest pad has significantly improved my typing experience, and I couldn't be more satisfied with its ergonomic design and practical features. This wrist rest pad strikes the perfect balance between comfort and compactness. Its ergonomic design provides excellent support, reducing strain during extended typing sessions. The padding is just right, offering a comfortable resting place for wrists without feeling overly soft or bulky. One of the standout features for me is the compact size of the pad. It fits perfectly in front of my keyboard without taking up excessive space on my desk. This design consideration is fantastic for those who want ergonomic support without sacrificing valuable workspace. Cleaning is a breeze with this wrist rest pad. The material used is not only comfortable but also easy to wipe clean. It's a practical addition that ensures a hygienic and well-maintained workspace. Whether you're a professional who spends hours typing or a casual user looking for added comfort, this wrist rest pad is a game-changer. Its compact size, ergonomic design, and easy-to-clean features make it a standout accessory that I highly recommend. Say goodbye to wrist fatigue and hello to a more comfortable and efficient typing experience!
