Riding the waves across the vast pacific felt like paradise. Simone and Bill Butler loaded their trim sloop Siboney with every they needed and a embraced the world of possibilities ahead. An enchanting pod of pilot whales were swimming beside the boat one night and it was all mesmerising. Then without warning, and with coordinated intent, the whales began to attack the boat, ramming their hull until the doomed craft slipped beneath the waves. The couple were left to fend for themselves in mid ocean, in a leaky 6 foot raft meant for coastal waters. This is the gripping tale of their fight to survive.
