The Man Who Drank the Sea: Surviving 15 Hours Alone

Cold, lonely, and fourteen kilometers from shore: one swimmer trained for three years, entered at 06:41, and vanished into a shifting subsurface eddy that left him alone in open water for fifteen hours - how did he survive with radio, bag, and a notebook that later turned up in a tree? Who carried the dry, seventy-page notebook into a juniper fourteen miles inland, and what does it reveal about the crossing?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from the Playa de los Lances entry to the moment search teams looked the wrong way, recounting the equipment, people, and currents involved and asking how preparation met unpredictable ocean forces to produce one of the most methodical open-water survival stories on record.
