Amazing tale of survival against the odds and environment,
This review is from: Survive the Savage Sea (Paperback)
A tatty copy of this book languished in our bookshelf for 20 years prior to reading.The book tells the true story of the Robertsons, a scottish family who gave up everything and decided to sale around the world. 500 miles of the pacific coast off South America the small family yacht is holed by a school of whales and sinks. The family is forced to abandon ship and survive in an inflatable life raft and small dingy. The tale takes the form of a very accurate diary of the day to day struggle. With precious little water and food the survival skills of the father (and author) are pushed to the limit in the 38 days that the family seeks to navigate a route to dry land. Detailed descriptions of the search for food and water by various means will interest both sailors and 'land lubbers' like myself. The gruelling hardship and discomfort experienced by the family make this a particularly good read while lying in a comfortable bed or by a pool - probably not book to be taken on a cruise holiday! A very good read.

A must for any seafaring traveller and compelling for others,
By A Customer
This review is from: Survive the Savage Sea (Sheridan House) (Paperback)
A diary of events encountered by six survivors who last 33 days at sea in tropical conditions. A non-seafarer myself, I struggled to put this book down. It contains much to prepare seagoers for the trials of survival and the value of a determination to live.

Sea fever,
This review is from: Survive the Savage Sea (Hardcover)
This is one of the best tales of the sea I've ever read. Against unbelievable odds, Dougal rescues his entire family after killer whales sink his schooner in the middle of the night and in just a few minutes.It's a fantastic story of courage, splendidly illustrated with sketches and photos from the event.
