The Robertson Family - 38 days at Sea P2

In June 1972, the Robertson family set sail on what should have been the adventure of a lifetime aboard their schooner, Lucette. But when killer whales attacked and sank their vessel in the Pacific Ocean, Dougal Robertson, his wife Lyn, their three sons, and a family friend found themselves adrift in a tiny life raft hundreds of miles from land, with minimal supplies and no hope of rescue.

What followed was 38 harrowing days lost at sea, battling dehydration, starvation, and the psychological breaking point that comes with complete isolation in one of the most hostile environments on Earth. With no GPS, no modern technology, and no communication with the outside world, the Robertsons were forced to survive on rainwater, raw fish, and turtle blood while drifting through an area of ocean larger than most countries.

This is the true story of one family's fight for survival against impossible odds. How they caught food with their bare hands. How they rationed every drop of water. The unthinkable conversations they had about what they'd be willing to do if rescue never came. And the remarkable resilience that kept them alive when most would have perished.

From the moment the whales struck to their miraculous rescue over a month later, this is the complete account of the Robertson family shipwreck one of the most extraordinary survival stories in maritime history.
