The Shipwrecked Marriage | Meet the Man Who Also Survived Being Lost at Sea
Description
Douglas Robertson and his family survived 38 days in the same stretch of water as Maurice and Maralyn Bailey, after their yacht was sunk by killer whales in 1972. Drinking turtle blood, fantasising about buttered toast, and searching for rainwater became their daily reality. Douglas joins Alice and Matt to share what it's really like to survive against impossible odds, his surprising meeting with the Baileys, and the parallels between their remarkable stories.
What does survival really take? Can any relationship withstand it? And how does it change you forever?
