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

Made for aggressive chewers

My aggressive chewers are obsessed. This is one of the only chew toys that actually lasts for them. Always have to buy 2 so they each have their own

If you have a chewer - This is the bone for you!
I have purchased this bone three times and thought it was about time I wrote a review. My dog is a chewer - No matter how tough the toy claims to be, he rips it apart in minutes. And although he has a few hard bones, he prefers the toys he can damage. I received this bone as a gift and expected it to be another one that would fall into the pile of rarely touched bones. But this is the bone that he grabs almost every day. I honestly don't know what makes this bone different, but he loves it! It holds up to heavy duty chewing no matter how much he chews it. It holds its shape and (apparently) its flavor. Little bits do break off and it shows wear over time, but it is very long lasting. Added bonus - As a dog parent, I love that it has no smell and it never gets wet/sticky/gross.
