Description

Brett Archibald's incredible true story begins with a moment of blacking out while struggling to stay afloat in the ocean. He was alone and adrift, 60 miles from shore, after falling overboard during a night-time crossing of the Mentawai Strait. The stormy conditions made it impossible for his friends to see him fall or hear his shouts for help, leaving Brett with no choice but to wait for rescue. Eight hours passed before his family and friends realized he was missing, prompting a frantic search across thousands of square miles of rough seas. This remarkable account of Brett's 28-hour ordeal in the ocean is also a story of survival, rescue, and the power of human connection.
