Rogue Wave Survival Story

"Lost in the Stream" author Johnny Savage shares how he survived a rogue wave and looks to inspire others.

In 1998, while out on a 56-foot Jim Smith sportfisherman called the Aningha, Johnny Savage and his Capt. Eric Bingham faced a massive rogue wave on the Gulf Stream that wrecked their ship and left them floating alone with nothing but ocean in any direction. This is the story of what might be only the second rogue wave ever documented and how two men fought to survive its aftermath.
