  • Summary

  • A true story adventure, of a perilous journey into a vast, dangerous ocean... and the three complete strangers, on a tiny boat, trying to survive it. In February of 1999, 26-year-old U.S. Naval Submarine Officer Cameron Thurman set out from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii to Yokosuka, Japan, aboard a 32-foot sailboat. Cameron was accompanied by a crew of two complete strangers: Japanese free-spirit and surfer Hiroki, and Polish family man Charlie. Charlie was the only one of the trio with any significant sailing experience.  It was a journey intended to take less than 30 days; it would stretch on for 45 days, testing and pushing them - and the boat - to their limits. Their survival hinged entirely on their ability to communicate with, rely upon and trust in each other, despite their differences. If they were going to survive, they would have to make it through a storm that neither they nor their boat were prepared for.
