Synopsis: The autobiographical story of a Scottish ex-farmer and his family who, whilest sailing a 43 foot schooner in the Pacific in 1972, were attacked by a school of killer whales.

Equipped with only three days of emergency rations and no maps or instrument of any kind they endured 37 days of struggle against hunger, thirst, mountainous seas, marauding sharks, storms, calms, equatorial heat and other dangers, surviving against all odds until they were rescued by a Japanese fishing boat, 290 miles before the intended completion of their journey.
