Abstract

The crew of the Gamalu II, a 30-ft fishing boat based in the Peruvian port of Ilo, were happy to arrive safely home. Their August shark-fishing trip had been eventful, to say the least. Two hundred miles or so out to sea, all radio contact had been lost when a wave broke over their wheelhouse, smashing the windows, soaking their equipment and putting their high-frequency (HF) radio—their only means of communication—out of action. Their desperate attempts to repair it proved in vain.
