I was also going to post that ITEW had come back from the apparent dead, but it's definitely not the best ever imo. Barbary Wars or Krakatoa FTW.
I was using hyperbole clearly, and to each their own, but I just find the Endurance Expedition an extremely fascinating story to begin with and this was a very well told version.
I think you would have at least one casualty if you put 6 men in a 22' boat and just had them sit out in the middle of Lake Mead for 17 days, but it's just incredible that they were able to sail the James Caird with no motor or modern navigation tools, in below freezing weather, 60 MPH winds, 40' seas and hit an island 800 miles away. Let alone with everything that happened before and after.
