Fascinating story of a married couple whose boat is scuttled by a whale and escape thanks to the dingy (life boat). They floated in the ocean for four months, watching ships go by who didn't see them, watching their provisions dwindle and learning to find and utilize gifts from the sea such as turtles and sharks.
Completely unbelievable but true.
