Description
Survive the Savage Sea by Dougal Robertson recounts a harrowing true story of survival at sea. In June 1972, the 43-foot schooner Lucette was attacked by killer whales and sank in just 60 seconds. With no maps, compass, or instruments, Dougal Robertson and his family were left to face 37 days of battling against 20-foot waves, marauding sharks, and the elements.
With emergency rations for only three days, the Robertsons were forced to use every technique of survival to stay alive. Their ordeal was marked by daily hopes and fears, crises and triumphs, and tensions and heartbreaks. This book is a moving account of their incredible journey, which was finally ended by a Japanese fishing boat.
