In June 1972, the 43-foot schooner Lucette was attacked by killer whales and sank in 60 seconds. What happened next is almost incredible.

Critics Review
…[a] well-written account….an unexpectedly personal view of a man’s physical and a woman’s emotional courage that, when bonded, produced the strength to survive.
…[a] well-written account….an unexpectedly personal view of a man’s physical and a woman’s emotional courage that, when bonded, produced the strength to survive. * Sailing *For stark excitement, marine natural history, practical lessons, and human love and stresses, few records, if any, of hazard and survival have ever bettered it. * The Instrumentalist *[The Robertsons] survived and their tale is a triumph of human resource and determination against terrible odds. * Cruising World *What a brave man, what an eloquent writer! In case of shipwreck I would send for Dougal Robertson or, in absence of him, reread his book in order to find out what on earth to do next. – Nicholas Monsarrat
