An extraordinary true story of shipwreck, survival and love
Bored of 1970s suburban life, Maurice and Maralyn plan their escape: sell the house, build a boat, set sail for New Zealand. Then, halfway around the world, their beloved boat is struck by a whale and the pair are cast adrift in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Alone on a tiny raft, their love is put to the test. This is a book about human connection and the human condition; about how we survive – not just at sea, but in life.

Heck of a story.
He seems not a nice person without Marilyn to distill him. I found myself wanting him out of the story after the life raft.
Touched.
Won’t forget.
Cheers happy listening.
Marilyn a person to have when in dire straits.
